Elon Musk finds Social Security system full of duplicate numbers

[Lesh]

Priceless......you're on a roll.

“Duplicate numbers”

What does that mean?

Two names with the same number. My WIFE had two names with the same number stupid.

How did these dweebs not get that?

 

[candycorn]

I think In due time we'll be hearing more about this..... with facts.

No we won’t.

The OP claims there was fraud. So that means laws were broken. Someone should be going to jail. The government will bring zero cases.

Field Marshall Musk just put that out to make it look like he’s actually finding errors to legitimize this expansion of government.

Check this out:

Cool...

Have they identified the fraudsters? Are they being arrested? If not...why not?

 

[TemplarKormac]

There's a new punctuation invention. It's called a period.

Maybe he's spacing it out for people like you, who have trouble reading at a normal pace.

You should thank him.

Two different people with the same number you idiot.

Not even remotely close to what he was describing.

You must get paid to be this purposefully obtuse.

Maybe he needs to be educated.

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."

Hm. So it looks like Elon is ignoring the judges.

Lol, one look at your avatar should speak volumes about your education.

Carry on, chap.

Your reply speaks volumes about your education. Or lack thereof.

Pretty sure they got it before the ruling.

You miss the line about 'hearings start 10am Monday '?

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.?

Why would you get a W-2 from places you never worked? That's you ignorant first assumption. It would go to the address you had on file with that company. If someone else was using your SSN, they would receive the W-2 and you would never know.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

When you go to apply for one. Now you may say that may not be for years BUT 2 million apply every year and it's kinda odd how no one is complaining they can't get their benefits because someone else is already claiming them.

Every person would not be applying for an SSN. SSNs are now issued at birth, you ignoramus!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'm waiting to see how much fraud Musk uncovers from the Welfare and food stamp system.
How many checks going to PO Boxes, or non-US addresses?
How many checks for assistance going to the same address?
How many checks for assistance going to an address that also has a tax return with earned income?

There are many simple computer checks that can be made to find fraud.

You do realize that the day of checks for benefits went away years ago. Ever hear of EBT?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Ohhh but they do. Illegals buy fake social security cards all the time. The numbers are made up. Very often they belong to someone else. I had a client whose social security number was being used by an illegal who died. The death was reported to social security. When my client applied, she was informed she was dead.

I had a woman using my social security number for 11 years. The only way we found out was the IRS audited me and ordered me to appear and bring evidence of my five children. Was she prosecuted? No. They gave her a new social security number.

You have no idea who could be using your social security number.

Why is an adult applying for an SSN, they should have received before ever getting their first job or even a driver;s license?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

3-Years ago we had to file paper Income Tax forms because our eFile was rejected becuase someone had filed a return with her SSN.

If there were no checks in the system, how did they know the SSN had been used?

(It took a couple of months, but it was eventually clears as a case of someone attempting identity theft.)

WW

For every one identified, ten weasel in. There are millions of illegals using fake SSNs. They are just made up. Sometimes they belong to a real person.

She was applying for retirement benefits. I should have been more clear.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Back during the Vietnam War era, our SS number was also our military serial number. There's a shit-ton of surplus military gear and documentation out there that has people's names and SS numbers on it.

My dog tags had my SSN on it in 1979. I lost one in about 1982.

Thank you!

One of the good thing GW Bush did was change to a different numbering system The required change was first outlined in the DOD Social Security Number Reduction Plan and then-President GW Bush's Task Force on Identity Theft Strategic Plan in 2007.
