It is much more complicated than that. Some of these people in the database are being counted twice because they changed social security numbers and the old number was not labeled as dead, but they are labeled as dead under their most recent SSN. Some people are not registered in the DMF (death master file) because they do not have a death certificate, the records do not exist (or were discarded) since they died in the 1930's or 1940's. Much of this information has nothing to do with the SSA processes or procedures. People also receive survivors benefits from their dead spouses and I'm sure there are many people in this list that are long dead, but had a younger spouse who is still alive. Many people can be incorrectly categorized in this count depending on how the data was pulled.[b] Less than 1% of social security benefit payments are fraudulent and there is a very real risk of harm to many elderly people with the current approach. [/b] They will literally kill seniors if they start randomly cutting off social security payment that they believe to be fraudulent. People will become homeless, die from being unable to afford their medication, or unable to pay for food. You cannot responsibly evaluate SSN database records over a short period of time. 40% of seniors get more than half of their income from social security payments. This poorly conceived agenda to eliminate alleged "fraud" will destroy peoples lives if apply the move fast and break things ethos to the social security payment system. [/quote]
