re: SS Administration to require in-person identity checks for new and existing recipients

about the SSI program security system .

I’m not even sure if we are talking about the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI), but sure since you brought it up, let’s go there. I only see mention of Social Security in the article.

The amount of fraud in SSI (by percentage) is orders of magnitude higher than social security!

With Social Security, the only qualifications are that, a) you paid into it over enough quarters, and b) you’re old enough to get it. The fraud is mostly related to those families who continue to receive the money by fraud after the person dies.


With SSI, any fraudster with the right coaching (yes this is done on a large scale) and willing accomplices in low rate doctors or counselors in the community can fraudulently get it for themselves, and even worse for their children who are coached to act out, or act dumb.

I’ve seen dozens of situations like this in my career.

You seem to be pretty paranoid. You must have a lot of skeletons in your closet.

And it’s you’re. Once is a mistake, twice means “your” an idiot.

So, efforts to prevent fraud must stop because they might inconvenience one-tenth of one percent of recipients.

And you think these old timers are handling these changes now via their phones, and not going into the SSA office.

Your virtue signalling makes you look weak.

It’s so funny when leftist call Elon an immigrant, which he’s an actual citizen, and you communist fricks fight tooth and nail to keep illegal alien gangbangers and murderers here. We can all see where your priorities are located, up your arse.

Go take a lap, pussy

If they can get a new bank account and necessitate a new direct deposit authorization then they should be able to use the online identity verification or get to a SSA office.

This. My God, you aren't going to go creating a new bank account online with virtually no verification. Changing banking account info should be purposefully difficult due to the unfortunate amount of fraud. I would probably go one step further and allow people the option to opt-out of the online option and only allow changes in person.

All a team of hackers has to do is call the victim and the SS Administration at the same time. Hacker 1 talks to the victim and says they are with the SS Administration reviewing fraud and tricking the victim into giving or accepting the MFA response, while Hacker 2 pretends to be the victim and either providing the MFA code or getting through because the victim has hit an MFAO prompt

Is this new?

I'm not a SS expert but it appears to be a new verification process the SSA is rolling out.

It is amazing to me that the same posters on here crying and complaining about how this administration is trying to reduce inefficiencies and fraud, only complain and try to poke holes, but bring zero solutions.

I dont think it is any secret that our government is inefficient with fraud taking place throughout….it is nice to have someone actually trying to do something about it. Any time someone makes cuts, not everyone is going to agree with it, but at least they are making changes.

Inb4 SloF*ckingPussy assures us all that requiring people to prove who they are to get Social Security is clearly racist and automatically unconstitutional. He’ll cite us a late 1800’s-era Supreme Court case which has nothing to do with the issue but assure us all that we’re just not smart enough (like him) to see the “real” nuanced meaning of the case.

Nice MMauler... as another reply stated - this was epic!

Was expecting more out of musk efficiency effort.. he is not really making any process and workflows efficient.. just reducing staff.

Recently signed up for ss.. I was able to do it online.. however my wife could not.. we called to get a phone interview appointment .. we got on assigned time they would call us.. over two months in the future.. on a specific day at something like 3:07.. if we did not pick the phone up at that moment.. if phone disconnected .. if sick if any reason we did not pick up that call.. we would have to resubmit and it would be more months.. this was just an interview so THEY could fill out the form instead of her..she could have easily done it in ten minutes.

Another time hsd to go to the SS office once.. line starts at around 6:30.. when they open the line is pretty set for the day.. not everyone in line will get in.. if not take off another day from work and try again..

Originally went to office to sign up.. went out to an office way in the country to avoid lines. Went in and wanted to fill out some form.. immediately said of we do not do that here..

Get to all of fraud but how about do what the description is ..
department of efficiency..
govt has lots of opportunities to be more efficient.. was really expecting ore process improvement.. ai etc

Musk has a very narrow view of what efficiency is at this point.. maybe he will expand and start making things run smoother.. faster etc.. but I think by then he will have lost interest and be on to other things.

I’m taking care of my mom right now and I can assure everyone that I, and 99% of the general population, would have no problem jumping through whatever hoop was needed to verify her identity online through the portal should the need arise. In the extremely unlikely and small chance I actually had to produce her in person, I could get it done. Someone who is absolutely bedridden would already have the legal powers documented and arranged and I doubt this would be of any consequence.

This is not an extreme issue at all and idiots running around screaming about it are just that….idiots. I have more difficult issues dealing with local utility services for my mother than what is outlined here.

So kindly STFU.
