US EditionDOGE claims 12.3 million Social Security number holders, aged 120+, now marked dead
- A government oversight group reported that the Social Security Administration completed an 11-week effort to update its records, identifying about 12.3 million individuals aged 120 and older as deceased.
- This major cleanup resulted from DOGE's efforts, initiated during the Trump administration, to rectify Social Security records listing implausibly old ages and eliminate fraud.
- DOGE reported that among the marked individuals, 3.3 million were aged 120–129, 3.9 million aged 130–139, and 3.5 million aged 140–149, with additional groups aged above 150 years also labeled deceased.
- DOGE stated it saved $175 billion through contract, grant, and lease terminations since its inception, equating to about $1,086 saved per taxpayer, though news sources questioned the accuracy of these figures.
- The cleanup implies a significant correction of Social Security data, but independent sources have not confirmed DOGE's claims and have noted prior instances of misleading assertions by DOGE.
