Social Security has spent weeks clearing out bad data from its records, sifting out millions of cases where Social Security number holders were over the age of 120.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced the ongoing records cleanup on social media, saying the process has taken weeks.
“For the past 3 weeks, Social Security has been executing a major cleanup of their records. Approximately 7 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. Another ~5 million to go,” DOGE announced on social media.
The effort comes after billionaire Elon Musk, the face of DOGE, highlighted the huge number of Social Security numbers assigned to Americans with unlikely or impossible ages. more here
So they are deleting all the evidence that could put any of them in jail for fraud. Got it.
My great great grandparents will be disappointed to hear this.
Now check voters.
Basic edit/validation of this type of data is beyond simple to do. It only exists and persists to enable fraud. Like all the billions in medicare/cade fraud, simple validations could end it immediately. Value ranges, uniqueness, frequency, historical trending, matching, etc. Basic statistical practices that business uses every day.
Search “SS fraud cases”. There is an endless roll of cases involving foreign hackers and domestic cheats and the dizzying amount of tax payer dollars stolen.
Dead people aren’t gonna vote if they don’t get their checks!
Damn! I am ALWAYS too late to a great business opportunity! Imagine if I knew somebody in IT at the IRS who had access to that data. Why I could buy valid SSN’s from “undead” 120 year olds and then sell them to illegal aliens. The aliens could safely use them because they’re valid, knowing that there will never be a challenge.
Why I could have made a fortune for years! But too late now.
Still, I’m sure that nobody but me ever thought of the idea (/S)
My paternal grandfather was born in 1896 so he would be 129 now, somehow, I don’t think that he’d still be collecting Social Security now since he died in 1965 at the age of 69 and he had only been eligible for SS for 4 years or so after he turned 65. Most of his retirement came from being a hard worker all his life and a small farmer and not from SS but from being frugal and paying cash for everything.
Wow! Reality!! What a concept!!!! ;^)
Who cashed all the checks?
The democrats will squeal that they’re taking away old peoples’ social security. The sheep will believe it.
They’re nor just old they’re also dead so why should dead people be eligible for Social Security. The SS security rolls need to be purged of all dead people after they die. I’m still receiving mail for my late wife who died at age 56 12 years ago, especially junk mail to enroll for Medicare which I immediately shitcan into the garbage after tearing the letters up.
who were the n****** dat got de $$$?
@ 0911: umean like grobama & its connecticunt ssn?
WHERE WERE THE PAYMENTS GOING??? THAT question still needs to be answered, and folks need to go to jail and have their assets SEIZED to return the monies to the treasury. THIS ISN’T rocket science….ELON…and PAM. That record has a bank account associate with it or in rare cases an address. Those cancelled checks (if paper), have a bank account associated with them. COME ON!!! These should be 4 indictment and imprisonment years, not just “look what we found” years.
so lets assume for the moment they all were getting paid monthly. 7M (so far) times $1600 = ~$11 billion a month….
(per Kiplinger https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/social-security/what-is-the-average-social-security-check-by-age)
Even if only 10% were getting paid, still ~$13 billion a year fraud… and the 7 million taken off were still only 1/3 portion of the active “over 120 years” records.
