I’m not rushing to defend. I like to get the facts before getting excited about something. You seem to want to jump to the worst possible conclusions. Most often those are wrong. Slow down and wait for the rest of the story.
Remember that the $50 million worth of condoms going to Gaza was false. There are many examples. Do you really believe 150 year old, long dead people are getting SS checks? Who’s cashing them? Think logically.
I have no idea.... How does the process work for shutting off SS payments when someone dies? I think funeral homes and such are required to report it to the SSA, no?
