I was dumbfounded when during press conference today GEOTUS talked of one person, the oldest, being 300 and some yesrs old and getting a check. Like SS didn't start until 1935. Was a dead then-200 year old founding father enrolled to get a check🤣 like wtf?
I think quite a few of these "old people" are typing errors that nobody ever bothered to check for / audit.
While DOGE has been tracing money, one of the systems had a key piece of information, like what was it spent on, made optional instead of required. That has been fixed.
I suspect Social Security doesn't have a box to check saying the person is dead or they require a copy of the death certificate to fill in the death date. The death certificate may not have ever been provided if the family didn't know to do so. SS needs to periodically run reports to flag situations like this for individual investigation, and they must not be doing that.
When I created and managed a system that impacted billing for the phone company, I wrote numerous Integrity reports to keep the data in my databases accurate. It takes someone who cares about accuracy to start the ball rolling. If nothing else this will identify areas that need to be fixed in the social security system.
