Social Security still has 6.5 million people older than 112 active in its files
Obviously we must give the government more responsibility! An inspector general audit of the Social Security administration has found more than 6.5 million names of people older than 112 still in the agency’s files.
The audit, dated March 4, 2015, concluded that SSA lacks the controls necessary to note death information on the records of number-holders who exceed “maximum reasonable life expectancies. … We obtained Numident data that identified approximately 6.5 million number holders born before June 16, 1901 who did not have a date of death on their record,” the report states.
Some of the numbers assigned to long-dead people were used fraudulently to open bank accounts. And thousands of those numbers apparently were used by illegal immigrants to apply for work: “During Calendar Years 2008 through 2011, SSA received 4,024 E-Verify inquiries using the SSNs of 3,873 numberholders born before June 16, 1901,” the report said. “These inquiries indicate individuals’ attempts to use the SSNs to apply for work.”
Moreover, to even think of trimming the budget of any government agency is madness! Madness! They need every penny!
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Sweet. I have a long way to go before assuming room temperature.
I would bet they all voted Democrat as well.
According to the establishment republicans, they are all likely republican constituents. If the records indicate that these number holders Have attained an age greater than 65, will they be offered retirement benefits? 60 years retroactive? Obviously we need to INCREASE the SSA budget
A quick check of voter records will show that these 112 social security recipients are all registered to vote at the same address: 666 Cemetery AV, Chicago, IL 60615. None have missed voting in either the Democrat primaries or the general elections for at least 50 years.
Jake, it’s not 112 recipients, it’s 65 million that are 112 years of age. Possible, yes, probable, no.
I did mean 6.5 million.
My uncle was a staunch republican till the day he died. Since then he’s voted solid democrat…
