The Department of Government Efficiency, proudly known as DOGE, has initiated a patriotic and unprecedented cleanup of the U.S. Social Security database, bringing truth and accuracy back to the records of our nation. In a bold move, more than 7 million supposed numberholders aged 120 and older have been officially marked as deceased, cutting through the bureaucratic red tape like a true American hero.
“For the past 3 weeks, SocialSecurity has been executing a major cleanup of their records. Approximately 7 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. Another ~5 million to go.”

This staggering operation follows shocking revelations reported earlier, where the DOGE team discovered alarming inconsistencies within the U.S. Social Security database. Their findings revealed over 25 million Americans registered as aged 100 or older—some allegedly older than the U.S. Constitution itself. It’s a move that highlights inefficiencies of past administrations and the need for accountability.
“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the ‘death’ field set to FALSE. Maybe Twilight is real, and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”

This revelation aligns with the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General (SSA OIG) audit back in 2015, highlighting the need for a thorough and patriotic overhaul.
“In 2015, we reported that SSA had not established controls to annotate death information on the Numident records of numberholders who exceeded maximum reasonable life expectancies of age 112 or older and were likely deceased.”
At the time, only 35 known living individuals worldwide were age 112 or older, but SSA’s Numident included 6.5 million numberholders’ records without death information. The SSA was urged to add death data to approximately 1.5 million Numident records where death information appeared in SSA payment records.
The SSA explored options to correct the approximately 5 million remaining records but ultimately decided against it, citing costs and duplicative efforts. This decision underscores the importance of DOGE’s current efforts to ensure a streamlined, efficient, and honest Social Security database.
