**I only post the hottest 10 posts in the subreddit.**
Social Security is not paying 150 year old's and here's proof.
In response to EM's screenshot of a database query, I thought some context would help. Starting in 2015, the SSA OIG has reported on folks too old to be paid SS benefits existing in the SSA database. This report from 2023 summarizes the issue, and why SSA isn't going to retroactively fix it.https://oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploads/a-06-21-51022.pdfTLDR; Yes, there are millions of entries for folks older that 112 in the SSA database. No, they aren't being paid benefits, and the cost to manually correct these death dates would have no positive benefit on cost savings for the SSA, so they aren't going to go back and do it. They have implemented new processes to increase accuracy in the future.
