He still has your information such as your social security number and the fact that you're receiving a pension check. Time will tell how he uses that information.

I know that but at least he doesn’t have my bank account number to take money out of my account.

I hope they removed all the 'dead people’ that were still collecting money, in the revision.

 

[Teacher Terry]

They knew they were dead and they weren’t collecting any money. They had a special code for them and they left them in there for some reason which had to do with the program that they used. I can no longer remember what the reason was.

They were using a date that occurred way in the past as a placeholder, from what I remember.

They did work to correct the old records, and stop payments going to deceased people.


From SSA website ...
Yes, there were instances where deceased individuals were still receiving Social Security benefits due to errors in the system, such as missing death dates in records. However, the Social Security Administration has been working to improve the accuracy of its records to prevent such occurrences.

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but DODGE got access to the Treasury Dept.data, Bureau of the Fiscal Service and other government fiscal networks. If you've ever received an income tax refund, or a Social Security direct deposit, Musk has your bank account #, street address and probably the rest of your personal data.

This is good news...DOGE needs to fade away.

Yes. America loves fraud.

Yes that’s exactly why I opened a new account at a different bank that has never had a government deposit and I moved my pension check to that account. All my other government deposits go to the old account.
