I've noticed some strange things happening at Social Security. We have people listed in there who are supposedly 150 years old. I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone that old! If these people actually exist, they should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. It makes me think that they are probably dead. If they aren't, they should be very famous! It seems like someone should probably look into this.

We've discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients who shouldn't have received them. This is just one example of the fraud, waste, and abuse we're identifying daily. Elon Musk highlighted Social Security payments being made to deceased individuals, which is clearly fraudulent. We're also finding contracts where, for instance, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was actually spent. Where did the remaining funds go? These are the issues we're addressing daily. This is exactly what President Trump promised to do during his campaign, and we are delivering on that promise.

Speaker 0: The seventy six day period is the time between when President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right? Speaker 1: Correct. During that period, from the loan program office in loans and commitments, $93,000,000,000 went out the door—well over twice as much as in the previous fifteen years. There were funds that went out the door and commitments made from businesses that provided no business plan and no numbers about their own financial solvency or how this project... Speaker 0: So you’re telling me that the Department of Energy, in the seventy six day period, before their boss was going to leave office, gave our loan money to entities that had no business plan? Correct. No financials? Speaker 1: Correct. I’ve come in with great concern about how this institution, Speaker 0: this great American institution has been run and how American taxpayer money has been handled. You’re going back through and checking each one of these loans and these grants to make sure there was no stealing, aren’t you? Speaker 1: We’re looking at that, and yes, my blood pressure is rising right now just thinking about what we have seen and what did happen at the moment. Gonna tell some of these boondoggles no, aren’t you? Speaker 0: That’s correct. I am. It’s rare that I’m speechless, but I want to be sure I understood. The people running the Department of Energy for President Biden’s administration shoveled $93,000,000,000 out the door in seventy six days, and it just happened to be the time between when President Trump was elected and President Biden, their boss, was leaving. Is that right? Speaker 1: It is correct and distasteful. Confidence undermining. My god.

The briefing details significant improper payments within HUD’s rental assistance programs, highlighting several categories of erroneous disbursements. The figures cited include about $77,000,000 in payments to around 30,000 dead tenants, about $150,000,000 paid to people with nonexistent Social Security numbers, and around $288,000,000 paid to support excessively high rent. According to HUD, the bulk of these incorrect payments—$5,200,000,000.0 of them—were made to people with inactive sam.gov accounts, the government portal used to register for assistance. The errors relate to two HUD rental assistance programs: tenant-based rental assistance and project-based rental assistance. Project-based rental assistance subsidizes housing units, allowing low-income individuals to afford them with the government paying the property owner. Tenant-based rental assistance goes directly to the person in need. In total, HUD disbursed around $50,400,000,000 in rental assistance payments in 2024, reaching more than 204,000 individuals. The portion of payments flagged as potential errors would account for approximately 11.5% of this total. Secretary Turner stated that HUD will continue investigating the results and will take appropriate action to hold bad actors accountable.

As governor, I saw firsthand government waste, but what Elon is finding is stunning. One agency had 13,000 employees but 37,000 software licenses, many unused. With millions of federal employees and credit cards, the opportunities for fraud are immense. Shockingly, there are millions of dead people still in the Social Security system. We need to address the low-hanging fruit. Keep good employees but eliminate unnecessary positions. I was in a meeting where it was revealed there are more government credit cards than employees, and the number of people on Social Security rolls is incredible. Checks go out automatically, and nobody is checking. Contract officers retire, but the money keeps flowing. Even diligent companies struggle to stop improper payments. Agencies like USAID don't track appropriations. Basic changes are needed to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

A $4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education had no receipt requirements, allowing people to draw money freely. Upon investigation, it was found that the money was used to rent Caesar's Palace and stadiums for parties. The only change made was requiring recipients to upload a receipt before drawing funds. After this change, nobody requested money anymore. Although the receipts were not checked and could be fake, the mere request for documentation stopped the requests. Initially, fraud starts small and is hidden, but if unchecked, it grows more brazen each year until they are renting out stadiums.

The Social Security Administration claims there are 6.5 million Americans aged 112 or older. This statistic highlights significant issues with data accuracy. In reality, there are typically only about 40 people worldwide who reach the age of 112. This discrepancy raises questions about the reliability of the data being reported.

I discovered that 20 million dead people are marked as alive in the social security database. Most fraud doesn't come directly from social security payments, but from disability, unemployment, and fake medical payments because these individuals are incorrectly marked as alive. We need to implement a simple "are you alive" check to prevent these fraudulent payments. This type of negligence would result in a public company being immediately delisted, and its executives imprisoned, but it's considered normal within the government. Therefore, I recommend that the Treasury and Federal Reserve make payment categorization codes mandatory, requiring an explanation for each payment, even if it's basic. This change would significantly improve the current system and potentially save hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

A basic search of the Social Security database revealed 20 million dead people marked as alive. While it's unclear if they're directly receiving Social Security payments, their "alive" status allows them to fraudulently obtain disability, unemployment, and fake medical payments. The fraud occurs because government databases don't communicate well. For example, the Treasury's main payments computer, PAM, handles $5 trillion in payments annually, roughly a billion dollars an hour. We discovered payments lacked categorization codes and descriptions, essentially untraceable blank checks. If a public company operated this way, it would be delisted, and executives would face imprisonment.

The speaker reports that $4.4 billion in unused COVID funds were identified, with $1.4 billion already returned to the U.S. Treasury. The Department of Labor exposed unemployment insurance fraud since 2020, with over $400 million in payments already disbursed fraudulently. Specifically, almost 25,000 people over 115 years old collected $59 million. 28,000 people between one and five years old received $254 million in fraudulent payments. $69 million went to 10,000 people not yet born, including one case where $41,000 was sent to someone who will be born 129 years in the future. The speaker says they are honored to return these dollars to the U.S. Treasury.

The US Treasury Department has been flagged for potential waste and abuse of taxpayer funds, with about 23% of entitlements, roughly $50 billion annually, going to recipients without known Social Security numbers or IDs. This equates to about a billion dollars a week in potential fraud. Adding to the concern, the Treasury Department hasn't been keeping itemized records of their payouts, making it impossible to track where the money is actually going. Fortunately, an agreement has been made where the Treasury Department will start itemizing all payments, detailing where the money is going and to whom. It's unbelievable that the Treasury hasn't had to provide accountability for where taxpayer money is being spent, especially when individual taxpayers are held to a much higher standard.

For over a decade, I’ve been exposing egregious Washington waste with my monthly SQUEAL awards. Some examples are too outrageous to believe. I’m talking about bureaucrats approving PPP loans for applicants who used pictures of dolls for IDs. Imagine giving Barbie or Ken a taxpayer funded loan. Not only that, but they also believe folks claiming to be over 115 years old were alive and well enough to be approved for 3,095 PPP and idle loans worth $333,000,000 including $36,000 to a 157 year old. That’s pure hogwash. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Instead of boosting Main Street, millions of your tax dollars were wasted through USAID to fund Iraqi Sesame Street. And this one is unacceptable. Improper payments or the government tossing cash into the wrong trough have become commonplace. In fiscal year twenty twenty four, federal agencies shoveled out $162,000,000,000 in improper payments. The most frustrating part is how simple it is to stop this waste. A report by the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee found that $79,000,000,000 in potential COVID fraud could have been prevented if four basic questions were asked. One, is the applicant's social security number valid? Two, if valid, does the name connected to that number match the name on the application? Three, does the birthday match? And lastly, is the individual alive? Seriously, folks, that could have saved $79,000,000,000 right there. The good news is that we can prevent nearly all improper payments in the future with my Doge in Spending Act that enacts common sense guardrails like those four simple questions.

Doge's survey of unemployment insurance claims since 2020 revealed that 24.5k people over 150 years old claimed $59 million, 28k people between one and five years old claimed $254 million, and 9.7k people with birth dates over fifteen years in the future claimed $69 million. The Department of Labor stated they are committed to recovering stolen tax dollars. Elon Musk noted the oldest living American is 114, so anyone 150 or older collecting unemployment is likely deceased. Antonio Gracias found that 1.3 million individuals are on Medicaid, with thousands registered to vote in some states. He stated a program designed for people they want to let in was abused, allowing illegals at the border to enter legally and receive Social Security cards without interviews, accessing every benefit. He claims many of these individuals have registered and voted. The system is so complex it may need to be dismantled and rebuilt. There is a call for accountability and a need to ensure this fraud never happens again.

Chairman Marcia Taylor Green's subcommittee discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients. These payments went to individuals who should not have received them. Doge is identifying fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Elon Musk mentioned Social Security payments being sent to deceased individuals. There are also contracts where, for example, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was disbursed, raising questions about the missing funds. Doge is actively addressing these issues. President Trump campaigned on this and is delivering on that promise.

People are losing security clearances and government contracts, but this is not enough. Dr. Fauci is responsible for the death of millions, and merely losing his job is insufficient. USAID is funding a radical Marxist agenda globally, and business loans are being given to children. Social Security and Medicare payments are being sent overseas and to dead people, including 50-year-olds. No one has been held accountable for any of this.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

During the 76-day period between President Trump's election and President Biden leaving office, the Department of Energy's loan program office issued $93 billion in loans and commitments. This sum is reportedly over twice the amount disbursed in the previous fifteen years. These funds and commitments were allegedly given to businesses lacking business plans or proof of financial solvency. The Department of Energy purportedly gave taxpayer money to entities with no business plan or financials during this period. An investigation is underway to check each loan and grant for potential theft. The claim is that $93 billion was distributed in those 76 days.

During the 76-day period between President Trump's election and President Biden leaving office, the Department of Energy's loan program office issued $93 billion in loans and commitments. This sum is reportedly more than double the amount disbursed in the preceding 15 years. These funds and commitments were allegedly given to businesses lacking business plans or proof of financial solvency. The Department of Energy purportedly gave taxpayer money to entities with no business plan or financials during this period. There are concerns about how the institution was run and how taxpayer money was handled. Each loan and grant is being reviewed to ensure there was no stealing. The Department of Energy under President Biden's administration allegedly shoveled $93 billion out the door in 76 days, between President Trump's election and President Biden leaving.

Social Security needs a closer look. We're finding people listed as recipients who are 50 years old, but I don't know anyone that age receiving benefits. They'd be incredibly old, practically setting a world record. It seems likely many of these individuals have passed away, or they would be very well known. There's a clear problem with the accuracy of the records.

We've identified shocking incompetence and probable fraud in the Social Security program. Government databases list millions of Social Security members at impossible ages: 4.7 million from 100-109 years old, 3.6 million from 110-119 years old, 3.47 million from 120-129, 3.9 million from 130-139, and 3.5 million from 140-149. Money is being paid out to many of these individuals because the payments continue without proper oversight. This hurts Social Security and our country. The databases even list 1.3 million people from 150-159 years old and over 130,000 people over 160 years old. We are currently investigating this issue.

Okay, let's dive into some unusual data. We're seeing records of an incredible number of people supposedly living to extreme ages. According to these computer files, we have 3,472,000 individuals aged 120 to 129. Then it jumps to 3,936,000 people between 130 and 139 years old. The numbers continue with 3,542,000 people aged 140 to 149, and even 1,345,000 individuals aged 150 to 159. Given that the verified record is 127 years, these figures raise serious questions. We're currently investigating the validity of this data and whether any payments are associated with these records.

The Small Business Administration reportedly gave loans to dead people and people with impossible ages, totaling around $330 million. Some recipients had birth dates placing them over 115 years old, while others had birth dates in the future, such as 2165. These errors suggest potential fraud or incorrect data entry. The question is whether these discrepancies are due to typos or identity theft.

We're uncovering massive fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Recently, it was discovered that there were $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas. Social Security payments are even going to deceased individuals. We're also seeing contracts where the full amount wasn't delivered. For example, a million-dollar contract might only see $500,000 distributed, and we're working to find where the rest of the money went. This is exactly what I campaigned on, and what 77 million people elected me to do.

A lot of Americans' money has been stolen through fraud and improper payments. In one of my first hearings, we discovered criminals using social security numbers of dead people or people over 115 years old to get small business loans and steal money from federal programs. We need to work to fix these issues in our legislation, budgets, and appropriations. This is a bipartisan issue; we're addressing money being fraudulently used and stolen. The American people are being robbed blind through improper payments, fraud, and outdated systems. Some federal agencies hire third-party vendors to hold data instead of communicating within the government. We are currently $36 trillion in debt, and we can't afford to keep losing money this way.

We've found some odd things, like bureaucrats with modest salaries somehow accumulating millions while in their positions. It makes you wonder where that money comes from. It seems taxpayers are footing the bill for this wealth. Basic controls that any company would have are missing at Treasury, like payment categorization codes or comments explaining payments. The "do not pay" list, meant for terrorists and fraudsters, takes up to a year to get on and isn't even used. Departments fail audits because of these missing controls. It boils down to complaint minimization. Approving all payments avoids complaints, even from fraudsters. But we need to complain when money is misspent and demand taxpayer dollars are used wisely. It's just common sense. We even see people claiming Social Security who are 50 years old!
