Non-partisan Democratic federal judges promise to find Constitutional justification for blocking this.

I’ve always been impressed with how quickly they shut off benefits. Including clawbacks days after

my mother in-law died. Now granted my brother in-law had already cleaned all of the cash out of her checking account with her ATM so the clawback overdrafted the account. (Which resulted in a mess another brother in-law needed to deal with—but.)

Similar to when my father died. Next check to my mom was reduced accordingly when he passed away.

My dad passed away this year and the energy put into stopping his benefits was surprising

My mom was getting called weekly by SS and Medicare telling her that she could no longer collect his benefits. She had already taken action to turn off all the necessaries but was shocked at how much attention this seemed to be getting.

Imposing corporate abuse, neglect and greed on deserving victims.

Ageism. Just as evil as requiring I.D. to vote.

where the deceased is recently interred.

From AP - (because it is quicker)

“Over the past few days, President Donald Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk have said on social media and in press briefings that people who are 100, 200 and even 300 years old are improperly getting benefits — a “HUGE problem,” Musk wrote, as his Department of Government Efficiency digs into federal agencies to root out waste, fraud and abuse.

It is true that improper payments have been made, including some to dead people. But the numbers thrown out by Musk and the White House are overstated and misrepresent Social Security data.”

You suckers are in a cult of bullshit.

Very easy way to figure this out: open the books and audit

once they are notified. Trump and republican leadership are lying to you, and you know it. Dear leader and his boyfriend are scamming you.
The republican party is telling you lies.
