Elon Musk finds Social Security system full of duplicate numbers

[JGalt]

Well this is an interesting development. Apparently the Social Security system has many duplicate numbers, which may be resulting in massive fraud. I recently underwent a First Advantage background check for employment, and an anomaly was reported in the Social Security Number Verification from Experian. It reported a former name with a slightly different first name and different middle initial. The remark on the credit report stated "SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER REPORTED MORE FREQUENTLY FOR ANOTHER CONSUMER." I thought it was curious, because I've never used a different name.

Elon Musk has just discovered this, it's probably just the tip of the iceberg.

"Just learned that the social security database is not de-duplicated, meaning you can have the same SSN many times over, which further enables MASSIVE FRAUD!!Your tax dollars are being stolen."

Why didn't you complain back when your tax dollars were stolen?

How is that even possible? How can they even generate a new number for one already selected?
But then, keep in mind that the IRS still runs MSDOS as its basic OS for everything.
Essentially 25 year old technology (at best).

This is the real Social Security and Medicare issue while Progs promote that Republicans are going to kill the elderly. Money can be saved.

Muskrat is LYING..................AGAIN.
Just like his VP.

Why didn't you complain back when your tax dollars were stolen?

To be fair, none of us did. Simply for the fact we gave up on ever having our tax dollars being put to proper use.

What time-frame are you referring to as "back when"?

What are you trying to to say?

eh? When you did your taxes why didn't you complain about all these W-2's from places you never worked?

Was there an intelligible statement in there?

 

[pknopp]

Was there an intelligible statement in there?

If there are multiples of S.S. numbers being used.................?

Odd how no one complains when they get W-2's from places they never worked. How someone else is claiming their S.S.?

Not sure. It could be a bug in the system that someone is taking advantage of. I have heard reports that you can buy Social Security numbers on the dark web.

How?

I have never gotten a W-2 from somewhere I never worked.

 

[pknopp]

I have never gotten a W-2 from somewhere I never worked.

Because there is only one of your S.S. numbers that exists. Just like with everyone else. Can someone steal a S.S. in a short term scam? Sure but there is no way in some big picture with no one knowing about it.

What can the average Joe do? Complain? Get angry? They are powerless before the government, and are incapable of correcting such massive incompetence.

You no good heartless bastids !
Put the waste and corruption back for the children...
And what pray tell will radical left-wing retards do without funding..

Musk Says DOGE, Treasury Agree on New Anti-Fraud Measures to Claw Back $50 Billion in Payment Fraud

One of the most significant changes will be the requirement that all outgoing government payments include a payment categorization code.

Well, there are many kinds of SS numbers, if I remember right, there is your regular SS number and I think three other kinds of TINs (tax identification numbers), for special cases like foreigners working in the country on visas and people under court custody where they have had their identity changed for their protection, and weird shit like that.

All in all, it sounds like a huge clusterfuck of rube goldgerg patchwork where a bad original system was continually doctored to address burdening needs with cheap, easy fixes rather than scraped early for a better thought out way of doing stuff. Kinda like how the old NT kernel OS's were limited in the size and type of file specs.

So people are being screwed on their taxes and no one anywhere is complaining?

So you're saying there's no possibility of waste, fraud, and abuse in the Social Security system?

There is waste in everything. That's not what is supposedly being said.
