When we report that Social Security has found some 6.7 million SS numbers of people who would be at least 112 years old, we should include the rest of the news about it. No, it does not mean Social Security has been paying these people. And no, it does not mean they represent Medicare fraud. In fact, many are employed and contributing money...over 3 billion dollars a year...whether they are legal or illegal... it's a positive...not a negative...So you can calm down. NOT saying anything about illegal aliens...for Christ's sake! It is what it is.
And what it does mean is that they need to do their accounting for the dead a little better. You don't have to take my word for it. Go to: http://oig.ssa.gov/sites/default/files/audit/full/pdf/A-06-14-34030_0.pdf and read the analysis of the Social Security Inspector General's report for yourself.
Doesn't look like any more than that.
