Social Security Audit Uncovers Problems – Over $1Bn Paid Out To People With No SSN

There is a reason so many Americans support Trump’s plan to drain the swamp.

And this report is one of them!

Big government takes our money and runs away with it. There is very little accountability for these government agencies.

They are given billions. But who is watching them? Where is the money going?

It’s hard to grasp just how bad the problem is, but sometimes we get a glimpse. A report came out in 2017 from the Office of the Inspector General, which was largely ignored by the mainstream media.

But the results are honestly pretty shocking. Check it out…

From the Office of the Inspector General:

We estimate that 22,426 beneficiaries had an individual representative payee who did not have an SSN, and SSA had not followed its policy to retain the paper application…

From April 2006 to September 2016, SSA paid these representative payees about $1 billion.

Um… wow. Yes, you read that right.

From 2006-2016, the SSA paid out about $1 BILLION to people without a SSN or were not following proper policy.

How is this even possible? I know numerous accounts of people with SSNs that are denied. Yet so many people were getting checks from the government—without even being in their records?

You really have to wonder how this is even possible? How can SS staff cut checks to people who clearly don’t have a SSN? Can someone even apply for benefits without a number? Isn’t that, like, the first thing they ask you?

Yet this agency was handing out taxpayer dollars to people with no SSNs. It would seem to me that strongly suggests these people were not Americans since every natural-born citizen gets a SSN when they are born.

This stinks to high heaven.

Clearly, there are people in this agency who would rather blow your hard-earned money than follow the rules.

Government agencies are funded by tax dollars. You’d think they would be very careful about how they spend your money. After all, they are being entrusted with tax dollars taken from the American people.

Yet this report seems to show they hand it out like party favors!

Everyone gets a Social Security check! Who cares, right?

Well, millions of Americans care. And we demand this kind of reckless waste be ended, once and for all.

President Trump, we are counting on you!

SHARE to spread the word if you demand the SSA be held accountable for this waste.
