Move to the PI. Your SS check will support a new 18 Y/O wife and her parents. She will bet you'll live ten years and the gravy train will continue on your death.

There is always a catch isn't there? About the only part of that I have going for me is the walking around smoking part.

Wow! A 60 year old marries a 20 year old! At least you know what killed him!

Appears to be millions over the age of 120 ....collecting...hmmmm......yep , drain the swamp

"Roughly 18.4 million uncovered in the 2023 audit had not received benefits or reported income for 50 years, meaning they were likely dead.

“We believe it likely SSA did not receive or record most of the 18.9 million individuals’ death information primarily because the individuals died decades ago — before the use of electronic death reporting,” the report states.

Around 44,000 were actually receiving benefits, with 13 of those older than 112."

MAGA!

"Reports say that his group at DOGE is made up of fairly young people. What those kids don’t realize is that Social Security uses VERY OLD computers. They’re programmed with an old version of the programming language COBOL.

A bit of history. On May 20, 1875 a bunch of countries got together to create the International Bureau of Weight and Measures which established uniform standards of mass and length. Later on, the Bureau established rules for dates as well. The dates standard used a starting date of May 20 1875 to honor the creation of the Bureau.

Old versions of COBOL use that date as a baseline. Social Security’s computers use that old version. Dates are stored as the number of days AFTER May 20 1875.

So what happens if Social Security doesn’t know a birthdate? That field is empty in its records. Thus that person appears to have a birthday of May 20 1875—about 150 years ago.

That’s why the crack team of youngsters Musk uses found 150-year-old people in Social Security getting benefits. It’s all really as simple—and as stupid—as that."

These kids these days!

What ever is going on it needs updated and sorted out. Seems odd the director quit.

Probably going to see a lot more of it before the year’s up.

You do know that the Daily KOS is a progressive news source that tries to discredit Trump at every turn,don't you?

Daily kos is like MSNBC squared, highly biased.

So we get rid of crooket politicians replace the with crooket Business men. Interesting that Musk a guy that is supposed to be super smart. Got all these computer wizards working for him. Why would anyone not think they couldn't make the numbers their supposed to be reveling. Just exactly what they want them to be much like the ones there now are supposedly doing?
Im the last person would be able to mess with numbers. I totally suck at math always have. I have worked though for some people who thought they were good at numbers. Make it look like they wanted. Cooking the books, stacking the deck, robbing Peter to pay Paul. Even being I suck at numbers I could see them doing that.
Maybe once they get rid of all the fraud. They can change were it showed I was making .50 an hour when I started paying in at 16. Bump that up to a whole $1 see if I get a raise in my monthly SS payment. I bet the kids in there doing their computer work. They look at that .50 go Wow! Look at this poor man what a sucker. LTAO..
I Don't care that much anymore which group of low lifes are in charge. Just keep sending me my money you little blood suckers.


Mac

Well for one thing they have been providing receipts!

At the rate the UniParty was running this country we would have been tits up.

I'd be concerned about you SS and Medicare without reform or taxing our children more.

2035 SS is projected to use up its surplus, Medicare is 2036. Both figures will change.

If you can't get behind cleaning up gov't no matter who does it, you should see a doctor fast! I'm dead serious!

"A. Overview of the age 115 or older termination process
Effective September 2015, the Social Security Administration (SSA) implemented an automated process in which the Regular Transcript Attainment and Selection Pass (RETAP) application selects records for which the Title II beneficiary is:

•
Age 115 or older;

•
In any current continuous suspense for seven years or more; and

•
Entitled on a record where there are no other beneficiaries in a non-terminated status younger than the age of 115.

The Title II Redesign (T2R) system automatically selects and terminates entitlement to beneficiaries meeting the criteria in this section on a monthly basis using Ledger Account File (LAF) T9 and Reason for Suspension or Termination (RFST) of AGETRM.

For more information on this automated process, see SM 03020.380B.

NOTE:T2R does not issue a notice or payments for the T9 AGETRM termination action. In addition, T2R places Medicare for these beneficiaries in an inactive status."

Translation: At 115 you automatically get cut off.

“They’ve” been saying social security is gonna run out for years.

Turns out, they were just stealing it.

This^^^

I thought Reagan fixed SS? Didnt Jimmy Carter spend it all or something? Memory is fuzzy beyond talking heads on TV saying it was broke. They have never stopped. Where were they when it was created? How come no one said anything When Johnson used the money to fund the vietnam war. That was a sure enough great plan. Probably should have created my own drug cartel back then. kept my money in the Cayman Islands. Lived in Costa Rica.

At least it will last ten more years. If I am not dead in ten years I will be getting close. Maybe do like that movie character. Go to yellowstone and fight a grizzly with my buck knife. If I end up a bear turd kids wont have to deal with my body.

Reagan raised payroll taxes and added more required contributors to bank more money do deal with baby boomers. This will theoretically run out in 2030 something. Nothing money printing won't cure.

Your last statement sums it up Dirt.

No one stole the SS money, the surplus is being used up as week speak.

The low interest rates everyone loved is a big factor in what is happening to the surplus.

The Social Security Commissioner stepped down one day after Elon Musk claimed that the Social Security apparatus might be the biggest fraud in history after DOGE uncovered that millions of people in the database are over 110 years old.
3.6 million between 110-119
3.5 million between 120-129
3.9 million between 130 - 139
3.4 million between 140 - 149
1.3 million between 150 - 159
According to Elon, there are far more eligible social security numbers than there are citizens in the United States.
