|

<div class="mt4 generic-content">

<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://blog.ssa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ssa-logo-full-rgb-small-300x300.png" alt="Social Security Administration Logo" width="264" height="264" />The Social Security Administration (SSA) today shared its significant progress in identifying and correcting beneficiary records of people 100 years old or older. The data reported in the media represent people who do not have a date of death associated with their record. While these people may not be receiving benefits, it is important for the agency to maintain accurate and complete records.</p>
|
||
<p>“I thank President Trump for highlighting these inconsistencies during his speech last night to a joint session of Congress,” said Lee Dudek, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. “We are steadfast in our commitment to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in our programs, and actively correcting the inconsistencies with missing dates of death.”</p>
|
||
<p>The agency follows long established program integrity initiatives that identify people who have a higher likelihood of being deceased due to their age or incomplete death reports. For example, SSA receives data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of individuals who have not used Medicare Part A or Part B for three or more years. SSA uses the data as an indicator to select and prioritize cases of individuals age 90 or older, who are currently in pay status and living in the United States, to determine continued eligibility for Social Security benefits. The agency attempts to conduct an interview with these individuals to verify they are still alive. If the agency identifies someone is deceased, it immediately stops payment and reports any suspicions of fraud to SSA’s Office of the Inspector General.</p>

<p>If the writers at this site quit the deliberate politicizing their reporting, the memos will be far more believable….ie. [“I thank President Trump for highlighting these inconsistencies during his speech last night to a joint session of Congress,” said Lee Dudek].<br />
|
||
Stick to the facts only…..the eliminating waste and fraud, etc. will make you sound far more credible.</p>

<p>It’s a shame that Trump continues to say that there are people over 300 years old 200 years old 100 years old that are dead and our continuing to collect Social security. His continued lies only hurt us, and those that are dependent on receiving their Social Security checks, which they have spent a lifetime contributing to.</p>

<p>It would be helpful to mention that SSA has long automatically stopped payments to anyone over the age of 115. It would be also helpful if you could explain how may people over the Age of 100 were actually receiving benefits, but are dead. While this topic sounds like outrageous waste, fraud and abuse, the actual number of very old dead people still receiving checks is incredibly small. Thank you!</p>

<p>If this has been the long established program for correcting the database why was this not explained to DOGE in the first place and therefore this not really being an issue. Other articles I have read on this topic have stated that it costs too much money to make the database corrections. The above statement sounds like someone is talking out of both sides of their mouths.</p>
