I hear Trump had Colin Powell removed from the list of notable people buried at Arlington Cemetery

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

yes, of course. but we are talking about the payments to the dead person. Do you really believe that thousands of americans are over 130 years old?

They don't pay anyone over the age of 115 because there aren't any. None of those people were receiving payments. They were just marked "not dead" in the system even though they obviously were.

 

[Mac-7]

You have to prove George is getting payments after death. My old man died in January and he is not getting SS. My mom is getting his SS because it is allowed.

The wife od a dead worker is entitled to his SS

But sons ir daughters on crack are not entitled to get his check

I heard you eat puppies for breakfast. My statement is just as valid as yours.

LIb and dems do not seem to care about SS payments going to dead people, so this is a valid question.

No they shouldn't get SS payments, it is against the law...

They should get a ball of money from the Police Department for wrongful death...

I met George Forman five years ago. The man was very down to earth and interesting to talk with.

RIP George

Do you believe there are thousands of people over the age of 130 receiving benefits?

(The actual number is 0 as the SSA suspends paymentgs for anyone over the age of 115. But let's go with it.)

Where is this evidence of 130 year old people getting SS deposited into an account, they only do direct deposit now.
If they are getting SS why is Trump allowing them to be paid SS if they be dead?
Why is the info not being dispersed into the media for absorption?
Why, it is yet another conspiracy theory from the MAGATs.

It was by Fox News but the lamestream media refuses to tell the truth to the masses by omitting the truth completely.

Musk's DOGE never said these people were getting paid but merely showed how screwed up the system was.

You are right Admiral.

LIb and dems do not seem to care about SS payments going to dead people, so this is a valid question.

Hypothetically, do you have a problem with a wife getting survivor benefits from payments that went to her husband, now deceased, if she has no other means of income?

On the larger matter of the viability of the SS trust, I would not be opposed to means testing for SS. I have an older friend who is getting her dead husband's SS ($2,100 a month) due to a survivor benefit built in to the system. But she is worth over $2M and has income from rental properties. I'd have no problem ending that payment.

Interesting thoughts on this, you’ll have to write your congressman to change the current law.

Right now SS is a tax paid to govt, sure the money was earned, but like all taxes the govt took it, and the law doesn’t allow him to pass it on to his children,

Under age children until they are of age, and his wife.

like he can with the funds the govt didn’t tax.

I wish you felt that way about all taxes though

The way they did it doesn't prove the algorithm being used...Is this a RAM or ROM moment?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving Social Security payments.

Over the past few days, President Donald Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk have said on social media and in press briefings that people who are 100, 200 and even 300 years old are improperly getting benefits — a “HUGE problem,” Musk wrote, as his Department of Government Efficiency digs into federal agencies to root out waste, fraud and abuse.

Tens of millions of dead people aren't getting Social Security checks, despite Trump and Musk claims

You've been lied to.

As a Military Veteran, do you think the article on Colin Powell as a notable military veteran should have been removed?

Did his refusal to endorse Trump for President play a role?

Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website

The Army-run cemetery said it is working to follow Trump's orders on ending diversity while restoring information.

[struth]

Under age children until they are of age, and his wife.

Well the law allows for his wife currently to get survival benefits to some degree.

So have you written your congressmen about allow his children to inherit his SS? And should the govt then be tracking just how much the individual put in then cut it off then?

No. It all probability it was never removed but flagged as a possible DEI conflict.

I just checked their web page:

"Celebrated African-Americans" is still there.

No one gets payments after their death.

Other people get them.

 

[Hollie]

I don't believe they are getting SS but I have no evidence or how the database is set up for a reference to the age and the age of social security given, and neither do you, I do trust Musk he has been caught lying too many times and he is working with the Chinese communist to expand his business in China..

You believe all sorts of nonsense. What evidence do you have that Musk is working with the Chinese communist to expand his business in China?

What if he is? That would be a legitimate business move.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Don't have to, they already do.

And should the govt then be tracking just how much the individual put in then cut it off then?

Again, they already do.
