US EditionDOGE’s Fraud Tracker at SSA Turns Into Massive Self-Own
- The Social Security Administration dropped its three-day hold on retirement benefit applications to check for fraud one month after instituting the policy.
- The policy, pushed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and revised multiple times, faced outcry from senior citizen and disability advocates amid concerns over customer impact.
- The anti-fraud checks delayed claims processing by 25%, caused worse customer service, and flagged only two probable fraud cases out of over 110,000 reviewed claims.
- As of mid-May, nearly 575,000 retirement claims were pending, with about 140,000 over 60 days old, amid staff cuts of roughly 7,000 and efforts urging employees to increase processing by 10%.
- Social Security continues refining its anti-fraud algorithm to focus on high-risk claims while aiming to improve service timeliness, though some employee representatives criticize leadership as out of touch.
