The Social Security Administration (SSA) has recently integrated 10 staff members linked to the DOGE initiative to investigate potential fraud, particularly concerning benefits claimed by deceased individuals. While claims from the Trump administration suggest a widespread issue, the SSA's audits indicate the problem is significantly smaller, with only $298 million paid to deceased individuals. Acting SSA head Leland Dudek has reiterated that allegations of rampant fraud remain unsubstantiated, despite efforts to clarify the situation amidst public scrutiny.
Leland Dudek, the acting leader of the SSA, has sought to clarify that information flagged by Musk and the White House aren't evidence of fraud, even as he has defended DOGE's role.
The assignments are the latest twist in the White House's crusade against death-related skullduggery, suggesting 'tens of millions' of dead people are claiming Social Security benefits.
