The Department of Government Efficiency appears to have discovered more potential fraud within the federal government.
On Wednesday, the DOGE shared a post on social media highlighting troubling findings from an unemployment insurance survey.
‘We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud – accountability is here.’
Since 2020, tens of thousands of individuals who were either over 115 years old, children, or not yet born have cashed in on millions of taxpayer-funded benefits.
The DOGE reported that 24,500 people over 115 years old collected $59 million in benefits, 28,000 between 1 and 5 years old received $254 million, and 9,700 “with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits.”
One individual claiming the birth year 2154 collected $41,000, the DOGE stated.
