Musk's DOGE reportedly designated an 82 year-old Seattle man as "dead" even though he's alive.
They cancelled his Social Security, canceled his Medicare, and clawed back payments retroactively. $5,201 was taken from Ned Johnson's bank account.
"Efficiency."

We will all be on edge every month.
Not all seniors have the time and wherewithal to fight something like this. Especially if they end up on the street or dying from lack of medical care.
But I wouldn’t work for the asses.
Hail Cascadia!
It's very difficult for the individual to prove they are still alive. Who would have thought it?
Equally worrying is the closing of federal funds for food banks.

Leave Social Security the hell alone!!
Moving fast and breaking shit is only okay for software. These mistakes harm real people. Govt doesn’t make knee jerk decisions to protect us from this kind of harm.
Should have used that to one's advantage
But messing up a SSN by one digit may cause it then it takes 3 inputs across 3 separate days to fix the issue.
Pack Musk to Mars pronto.
Aunt or Uncle with no kids? Call them today please.
The nursing homes can fight their own battles, but there's so many that don't have the capacity to findbout what happened, make phone calls.
Don't just mourn Gene Hackman, use him as a cautionary tale.
You can either use force, or economics.
Dangle your SS check in front of you. Make you jump so high to get it. And maybe make you sign a pledge you're not a threat to "the state".
Wanna see your wealth again, you'll do as you're told...
Criminal charges should be filed
Nobody home at the social security office.
Feudal is the correct word. The orange king grants special favors to his billionaire lords; they get richer.
This is not about a tax cut for you.
... Fuck Chuck Schumer.
... Fuck Franklin Graham.
The story here is that sometimes weird things happen and problems arise. That's why you NEED people in field offices and answering phones. To fix stuff like this.
I think the framing of the this story is incorrect and I would discourage reporters from listening to every single SSA "problem" they hear as being related to DOGE.
If they dead we want to know?
- DOGE got in SS
-change info of a private citizen
- declared him dead
-the funeral homes are the ones who fill and send Form SSA-721
-send info to a bank with false info of deceased person
- Bank without checking send money back to SS
-pattern of scam
-
Many more are giding

He’s cold blooded and that’s coming from a dinosaur.
It's time ..
And since offices have been shut down there will be no one to help correct his incompetent mistakes
How is he allowed to do this?
Scary to think our bank accounts can be breached without due process. What are our rights concerning banks allowing unauthorized withdrawals?
Notice SSA did NOT supply any proof of death to this bank
If trump administration doesn't like you they can just SAY ur dead and take back ur $$$
.maintain a bank account just for SS deposits
Immediately move the $$$ to your actual account
Musk is destroying Social Security and Medicare
Brilliant idea!
Freedom of religion - Who needs it?
Freedom to participate in peaceful protests to discuss how government is murdering people - Who needs it?
Freedom of press - Who needs it?
Attorney when charged with murder - Who needs it?

Then legal immigrants married to people born in USA.
Then people who were born in USA who had ancestors in USA over 100 years ago.
Why did Jews who had family members murdered during Holocaust vote for well known Fascist Trump?

Lots of old white Democrats
I have to imagine its the latter and no it doesn't make it okay. I just want to make sure banks are still protecting our accounts.
Sounds like regretful fox news voters... 🤦🏼💔
It’s a long term strategy.
