Musk says one person is in Social Security database with age set between 360 and 369​

Elon Musk indicated in a post on X that millions of people listed in a Social Security database are recorded as centenarians "with the death field set to FALSE!"

“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security," Musk posted, adding a couple of rolling on the floor laughing emojis.

Hopefully, this problem will be fixed so that Social Security benefits ain't going to continue to go out to those who are no longer eligible to receive them.

Hopefully court orders will not slow him from fixing the errors.

They're claiming it's a feature of the program they use (that's 60 years old) and when a DOB is missing it assigns an arbitrary date.
If this is true let's hope they get an updated system so they can properly track SS recipients.

Well, they would need for Congress to pay for a new system and that's a lot of money, so good luck with that.

That sounds strange. Really strange. I think if I was the programmer I would have chosen an arbitrary but not a random date. Something like Jan 1, 1900 so they could later come back and correct the date. A random date makes it harder to discover those records.

So maybe believable, but not smart. What is needed now is to find all of those people and put in the corrected birth dates. Or find out they really are dead and then cease payments and start recovery.

Efficiency sometimes means spending some bucks to fix things. Things that don't still run on Cobol.

I'm suspicious. But time will tell. If these people are found alive and in their 80's it will come out. If they are 160 years old and already mouldering in the grave that will come out too. There shouldn't be any real 120+ year old people out there.

(Kind of confused…)

(Vampires or those that identify as Vampires)?

It's a diverse community of course with at least 173 different kinds of vampires. There's vampcurious, vampfluid, bivamp, demi-nosferatu, panfang, transbat etc.

Well yes, but governments are famously reluctant to spend money on overhead, which would include things like completely rehauling the computer systems being used by SSA and other agencies.

If you self-identify as a vampire you ARE a vampire. Dressing vamp helps though.

Unless the people were on other people's benefits. For example, I am on my late father's SSDI benefits if I were to live to be say 80 he would have been 110 but I would still be on his benefits ( not that I am likely to live to be 80, but you get the point) stuations like that where someone is on someone's else record when the person whose record it is is LONG deceased, but it was say a much younger spouse or a disabled child who was very young at the time of the record holder's death.

The problem needs to be fixed but they didn't reveal anything that wasn't already known. All of the records need to be updated and all those who have passed away need to be removed.

Makes some sense. Doesn't easily explain 160 year old recipients though.

And this is how bluezone fraud zones are born.

I am eagerly waiting for a new study claiming that the American diet is the healthiest.
