Whistleblower Says DOGE Planned to Declare 2.7 Million Living People Dead in Social Security Records: Report
A whistleblower said officials planned to add 2.7 million living people to a federal death file to cut benefits and pressure immigrants.
- A former senior executive at the Social Security Administration , Jeremiah Schofield, has filed a whistleblower disclosure claiming Trump administration officials planned to falsely add 2.7 million living people to the government's master death database.
- The alleged scheme was orchestrated by the Department of Government Efficiency as an aggressive immigration-enforcement tactic, explicitly designed to disrupt the lives of targeted individuals and pressure them into leaving the country.
- DOGE official Jon Koval reportedly laid out the strategy in Schofield's presence, explaining that individuals would either "self-deport" due to frozen lives or be forced to visit local Social Security offices to prove they were alive, where ICE agents could easily detain and deport them.
- Falsely marking individuals as dead completely cuts off their societal legal functions, instantly blocking their ability to legally work, receive federal benefits, collect paychecks, or access private banking and financial services.
- The plan was ultimately blocked after government attorneys warned it broke federal law, but the revelations have prompted U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren to launch a formal congressional inquiry demanding document preservation from top administration officials.
