WASHINGTON — Americans are getting older, but not this old: Social Security records show that 6.5 million people in the U.S. have reached the ripe old age of 112.
In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world.
But Social Security does not have death records for millions of these people, with the oldest born in 1869, according to a report by the agency’s inspector general.
Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits, the report said. But for others, their Social Security numbers are still active, so a number could be used to report wages, open bank accounts, obtain credit cards or claim fraudulent tax refunds.

Wow , that’s pretty messed up!
.
No, this is not illegals.
Illegals make up their own SS numbers out of thin air, and the govt does nothing to stop them because they get to keep the money.
Illegals can’t file a tax return, so there are no refunds.
The voting dead are organized crime on a grand scale. (Dems of course)
.
.
The DNC guarantees that you will never die if you keep voting Democrat.
.
This effort basically costs nothing to do. All that’s needed is to de-duplicate the Social Security database against the very public death records. People involved in direct mail have to do this all the time.
[ This is the result of Obama policies. Duplicate names, residences etc. were not followed up as a matter of POTUS directed policy. ]
Well, Obama wasn’t going to investigate himself.....just sayin’. /cough

Hey that’s where the biker gang from “Every Which Way But Loose” had a chapter!
Too bad Toots, the ONLY living woman who knew all the details about Obama’s birth, upbringing, childhood travels dropped dead about 48 hours before the 2008 election.
And Obama had access to her apartment where he found his birth certificate (according to his book). Since she was cremated, there will be no post-mortem inspection of the body.
I’m sure it’s all just coincidence.
Isn’t there a statue of limitations? ;)
How did she find out?
Hey, there are a lot of us old codgers out there, you know.
If only half of us had voted for Trump, it would have wiped out Hillary’s popular vote. The problem was we didn’t remember when to vote or where to vote. Gotta work on that. Eating more spinach.
We were once known as “Golden Oldies” but under Obama, we became “Rusted Tin Can Oldies”
The productive class indeed, they may have had a bit of a reprieve.
This will be a gold mine to purge the illegals. E-verify will go a long way to clean up the mess.
I am starting to think that Trump is actually gonna get the federal government to both trim down and shape up as if it were a new hotel or golf course acquisition.
Maybe the government inefficiency and corruption isn’t as impenetrable as everyone claims.
A few years ago I saw a show where a woman continued to cash her dead mothers SS checks.
She cried about the fact she had to pay it back. The Feds had no mercy. They took half her paycheck every month.
These people do get caught.
Right turn, Clyde.
This really cannot be said enough times.
Trump is no fool and is no liar.
We are only at the start of business day #4 of his Presidency, and he has fulfilled more campaign promises than any political leader in my lifetime.
Love it when the old guy jumps into the camper at the end and Clyde gives him a big smooch on the lips.
It’s fun seeing him in other Clint movies, like “High Plains Drifter”.
