On X, formerly Twitter, DOGE said some 12.3 million individuals with Social Security numbers had been marked as deceased, a task that took 11 weeks. It added that some “complex cases” remained.
Some 7.2 million were originally marked as being between 120 and 139 years old, while about 4.8 million were marked as being between 140 and 159. A group of 124,000 was recorded as being more than 160 years of age. More
Having worked my entire life, I will never recover the full amount of Social Security that I paid into thru tax.
Now I am paying tax on the money I already paid tax on.
Medicare is equally as bad because I have to have a supplement that medicare won’t cover. This year my supplement exceeds $400 per month including my drug plan.
So I’m 94 years old and my total medical coverage exceeds my retirement income. Shit
These actions are pissing off a lot of Civil War Veterans…
12 million purged from social security seems to align with the number of illegals Biden let in. That’s some coincidence.
‘nonpartisan think tank added that Numident was introduced at a time when “record-keeping was paper-based and less reliable.”‘
…what makes him think computers make this better? A computer doesn’t “know” anything a human doesn’t tell it, and a computer can lie with a staight face that no human could ever hope to match because its just doing what its told.
And if you show someone a lie in a hand-written note and the same lie on a computer screen, they will be FAR more disposed to believe the computer screen, as a technology bias tells them ‘computers cant lie’.
See every ad on the Internet for proof that this just isnt so…
HEY!
So – if payments were being made to these dead folks the money went somewhere. Just who was receiving the money? Whoever it was knew they were committing fraud. Identify them and make the appropriate arrests and convictions. Could it be that some of this money found its way into the pockets of officials or politicians? If so, make the appropriate arrests and convictions. It’s high time to put an end to this type shit and fraudsters and thieves did some hard time. Faith in our justice system is all but dead. Can it be restored?
Fair enough. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE UNDESERVED PAYMENTS??? SHOW ME THE MONEY…AND THE ARRESTS!!!!!!
What we’d all like to know is what is the tolerances built into all these systems. What are the “write-off” numbers the gov’t shrugs at as just a “cost of doing business”? Apparently, at this point, we know the answer for the SSA.
You would not survive running an actual business like this. Sure sounds like a defective government, why are we paying them????
12 million collecting after 120 years old

But how many SS #s were issued to people who never even existed?
Matthew Cox a convicted fraudster explains how easy it is to get a SS# for a person who never existed then take out credit cards and even mortgages in the name of a person that never existed,

15 million over the age of 120? The oldest living person in the U.S. is 110 years old. So how many people between 111 and 119 years old are still receiving SS payments? DOGE still has some work to do.
12 million. Now cross reference those names with voter registration.
“It added that some “complex cases” remained.”
How hard is it to determine if someone is actually living or dead?
How will all those dead people live?
What percentage of these are in Chicago? Then again this shit has been perpetuated so long its widespread. We’ve encountered an Indian family that has several houses that are group homes and they have several elderly people that they’re shuffling back and forth every day between the homes getting hospice, milking the supplies and controlled meds plus pulling their pensions, social security and charging their families. Would you believe me when I tell you APS literally doesn’t want to deal with it? We are having to escalate it ourselves to the TN Dept of Health. My poor little social worker wants to know what she did to deserve this
SSA’s death records index is just that. It is a listing of SSNs that belong to deceased individuals and has been around for eons, way before computers and automation. It was, for very many years, a manual process subject to human omissions and error. With the introduction of computers and later, matching its records with all 50 state’s BVS records, the accuracy has increased to nearly 100%. SSA’s records of who is getting paid and who is not is not the same as the death records index. In recent years, field office management of all 1300 offices nationwide has been sent repeatedly to beneficiaries home to interview those who were 100 years old or over who had not used Medicare for two years or more to verify their existence. I met a lot of most interesting elderly with great life stories.
