Trump claims that 179 year olds are getting Social Security checks and cashing them

This was debunked long ago as the doge amateurs making incorrect interpretations on the database design. It is indeed possible for a 170 year old to still be triggering benefits , like if they married a 15 year old at age 99, and the 15 year old collects survivorship benefits and is now 99 herself

If Trump doesn’t like the current social security rules he should stand up and tell us his plan (instead of whining to his groupies).

Trump is still claiming 179-year-olds are cashing Social Security checks. SSA already explained that the extreme ages came from old records missing death dates—not proof of payments. Its actual current-payment data show about 57,000 beneficiaries age 100+, not armies of 179-year-olds.

Right Like social security doesn't claw back the deposit from the month a person dies, they aren't totally on top of that 🙄 And people eat this shit up without question. Nobody seems bothered by all the real fraud that he pardoned convicted people for & wiped away their restitution. Fuck I hate him

First Social Security benefits were sent out 86 years ago. 179 year olds were born in 1847. So…I don’t even want to do the math about how ridiculous that is in all of its ridiculous and pathetic ways.

a check is basically the most trackable way to transferring money... also a thousand people over 100 years old in a country of 350 million people isn't exactly a stretch

There are no Social Security checks anymore to cash and some person who was 88 when Social Security started has been collecting for the last 91 years? You have to be alive and have a verified bank account for direct deposit to get Social Security nowadays.

Notice that most of them accepted it when he told them there's a 179 year old scamming the government. Only a few smiled.
