Just a thought, and in no way does it reconcile all of these numbers, but if a woman draws on her husband's SS for decades after he dies, would it still be counted as his SS? Say he died at 100 & she was younger & drew his SS for 30 years before she died, would it show the payments being associated with his account (making him 130 yrs old), or hers?
People who can draw off another person's SS - could also be grandchildren or great grandchildren under certain circumstances:
