"tens of millions of dead people may be collecting social security"

[WorldWatcher]

No, you didn't

Excuse me, in correcting people in multiple threads on different boars - I forgot to include the magic words "over 100 years old".

Here are the recipient numbers from the SSA for SS Retirement Benefits in December 2024.

So the claims of "it never happens" are bullshit.

Imo its more that there isn't enough money in fraud there to fund Musk musky musing for a week.

So the claims of "it never happens" are bullshit.

Nobody said "it never happens", that's an application of the extreme fallacy.

Musk and Trump claimed millions of people over 100 received SS Retirement benefits. The fact is the number of recipients of SS Retirement Benefits over 100 is about 90,000 +/- what month you look at.

SSA reports that fraud does happen but it is miniscule compared to SSA's entire budget.
Not nearly on the scale (percentage wise) as say....convicted felon Trump's proven fraud!

150 year olds getting checks that are cashed never happens
Trump lied

Cashing checks for the recently deceased probably happens frequently
But they catch you

Most fraud is in the area of SS disability

We need MORE agents to investigate disability claims

Still doesn't mean that they aren't paying dead people.

And maybe fix the database?

received.

That could mean going back decades.

Did musk say received or are receiving?

Tell that to the people comitting the fraud.

 

[j-mac]

When you do a database dump with no knowledge of the complete schema and no knowledge of how that data is actually processed...

Oh yeah..I’m sure it’s rocket science….Good thing Musk understands that…

 

[theHawk]

Happens
Grandma is not reported as dead and relatives keep using her checks


Until

A death record gets reported and there is hell to pay. Whoever cashed the check is subject to criminal charges and penalties

Unless you’re an illegal, then Dems give you sanctuary.

Now people who care about fraud are going to look at it.

LOL, that line on Trump worked SO WELL against him in the election, dingus.

They said could be cashing checks.

Maybe SS needs to update it's databse beyond COBOL or FORTRAN

I bet the stuff is stored on a VAX.

That's not even the point.
Convicted felon is just part of his title now. Odd that you cultists couldn't care less so the title says a lot about you too.

 

[jknowgood]

Can they show any of those people collecting money?

They just are numbers that haven’t been registered as dead

Only an idiot would question someone trying to save them money. Hey, can you lend a couple thousand and I can't gaurtee I'll pay you back?

 

[Mac-7]

They aren't auditing, they are firing people. They can't read a simple chart, how are they gonna audit anything?

The unelected administrative state, aka the 4th branch of government is getting a break by only being forced to retire

Otherwise some of them might be looking at jail time

Sham trials got you nothing, dipshit.

Does not save any money
No money is being spent on those deceased SS numbers

GUILY on all 32 counts.

 

[hadit]

Most fraud is in SS Disability not 150 year olds getting benefits.

Go ahead and hire more people to investigate disability claims……But Acting President Musk will not do that

Thank goodness we don't have any of those around, that would be bad.
