00:00Dead people are taking your tax dollars, $186 million of those dollars, according to a report
00:06from the Inspector General of the Social Security Administration, and Iowa Republican Senator Joni
00:12Ernst has had enough. She sent the commissioner a letter pleading for him to get his act together.
00:18One part of this letter to Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano pretty much
00:23sums it up. I would ask that you continue doing everything in your administrative powers to stop
00:28sending checks to dead people. The IG report found grieving families were pocketing their
00:33departed loved ones' checks for years, and it went undetective. I don't know, maybe it
00:38eased the grief? Who knows? Stopping Social Security fraud was also a big focus for Elon Musk's
00:46Doge project from earlier this year. He claimed to have found, quote, tens of millions of dead people
00:52in the Social Security system. While that number appears to have been an overestimation,
00:58a 2024 report found that roughly $71.8 billion of the nearly $8.6 trillion in Social Security
01:05payments that year were improper.
