Some years ago in my area, two brothers and a sister were charged with defrauding SS by cashing their moms checks. She was in a freezer for many years.
If proper infrastructure was followed in the Los Angeles fires, perhaps there would be 25% less destruction or more from them. There are people stealing and cheating. Cleaning it up is a positive. We saw our limits with the illegals and the inner-city residents having money allocated to them reduced to pay for sanctuary status. And the inner city elected to power telling their own to go screw themselves.
It will eventually catch up with you
Liars.At least according to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the DOGE team to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration. They haven’t dug into the books yet, but they suspect that there are tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent Social Security payments,” she said.
There are only about 70 million people in total getting SS. There may be hundreds of deceased getting payments, but certainly not millions or tens of millions.
I mean, seriously. Does anyone really think that 1/3 of recipients are dead?
Over the weekend, Musk posted a table supposedly showing that the Social Security database has millions of people in it over the age of 140.
"Ninety-eight percent of social security number holders who are age 100 or older do not receive benefits, Justin Wolfers, professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan, explained on X. “Why are there dead people on (this one table of) the social security database? They died before the use of electronic death records,” he added.
So the real question here is are they really that stupid?
Or do they just think you are?
'Frustrating': Experts push back against team Trump claim that dead people collect Social Security
President Donald Trump’s Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, pushed a claim Monday on Fox News that there may be many dead people receiving Social Security payments. Experts have pushed back against that idea, which has come from Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, indicating...www.alternet.org
That's pretty much the only way to get away with this fraud. And the number of felonies that would have to be committed to maintain that fraud in perpetuity would send you to prison for decades. It just doesn't happen.
Your post spot on and very true.
When robbers are at work, they make THEIR OWN rules.
Like NOW.
I'd rather ask Elon Musk.
My guess is tens of thousands. But the number should be zero. Prosecutions of anyone knowingly failing to notify SS of a death or again knowingly collecting benefits for a dead person should be prosecuted to the extent of the law. I’m sure there are a large number of people who are so disorganized that they have no idea that SS benefits are flowing into a joint account held with a dead person. They shouldn’t be prosecuted, just made to repay the money.
Most people are declared dead by a doctor or Coroner, so filing a death certificate with the government should be routine.
Robbing and raping will send the perpetrators to prison for decades, but it doesn’t stop criminals.
OK show where people are being paid who were actually dead
