The U. S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has announced the removal of 12.3 million individuals over the age of 120 from Social Security records due to age discrepancies.
• This cleanup effort started after national attention was drawn to the oddity of many individuals listed as 120 years old or older.
• In March, DOGE reported marking 3.2 million individuals aged 120+ as deceased, stating that further work was necessary.
• By April, 11 million were recorded as deceased, and the most recent update confirmed the total at 12.3 million.
• There remain complex cases, such as individuals with multiple birth dates, which will be investigated later.
• Elon Musk, linked to DOGE, raised concerns in March about non-citizens receiving Social Security numbers, attributing it to past administration policies.
• As of now, DOGE's savings total $170 billion.
The significant removal of these individuals from Social Security records highlights ongoing efforts to correct data inaccuracies. The investigation into remaining complex cases is expected to continue, amidst broader discussions about the integrity of Social Security practices.
