Dude, unfortunately a good chunk of MAGA twitter has gone crazy. I would know because I've been hanging out there for a few weeks now. They just want your clicks so they run crap like this. Take little at face value.
My point is someone is getting that money ! So if a 130 year old isn’t , who the Fvck is getting it!?!?
But it's not true and millions of Americans believe it is due to the President and others spreading fake news.
Only an idiot would believe this BS. We have not seen any proof .give me names and addresses where they went.
Oh, so you are special needs. The bold text is confirmation.
You don't have a point as no one is getting that money. The articles posted clearly explain what's going on.
Oh, it happens:
That's an example of fraud being caught. As it should be and is when it infrequently happens. It's not an example of a dead person voting.Oh, it happens:
THE VILLAGES, Fla. (AP) — A man has been charged with forgery and fraud after authorities say he cast a ballot in Florida for his deceased father in the 2020 election, though the suspect says the charges were motivated by a local, internal GOP political rivalry between former President Donald Trump advocates and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis supporters.
Elections officials in Sumter County did not count the ballot because it was postmarked four days after the father died in mid-October 2020, according to a criminal complaint brought by William Keen, the Sumter County elections supervisor. An examination of the father’s ballot showed the signature on it resembled that of his son’s and not any of the father’s previous ballot signatures, the complaint said.
Robert Rivernider was arrested and charged last week with felony forgery of a public record and fraud, according to court documents. He has since been released from custody.

Why the F are they still using COBOL?So are tens of millions of people over 100 years old receiving benefits?
No.
Part of the confusion comes from Social Security’s software system based on the COBOL programming language, which has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago. The news organization WIRED first reported on the use of COBOL programming language at the Social Security Administration.
Additionally, a series of reports from the Social Security Administration’s inspector general in March 2023 and July 2024 state that the agency has not established a new system to properly annotate death information in its database, which included roughly 18.9 million Social Security numbers of people born in 1920 or earlier but were not marked as deceased. This does not mean, however, that these individuals were receiving benefits.
The agency decided not to update the database because of the cost to do so, which would run upward of $9 million.
A July 2023 Social Security OIG report states that “almost none of the numberholders discussed in the report currently receive SSA payments.” And, as of September 2015, the agency automatically stops payments to people who are older than 115 years old.
Tens of millions of dead people aren't getting Social Security checks, despite Trump and Musk claims
The Trump administration is falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving improper Social Security payments.
Probably a combination of if it ain't broke don't fix it and the time + money it would cost to rewrite.
You might be surprised to learn how widespread it still is across the government and private corporations.
The article said because the cost to update would be 9 million.
I suppose that’s fair enoughI thought you didn't vote and ignore politics as a Jehovas Witness??
If you don't vote, you can't complain.
