首先找到2023年官方解释，说几乎没有direct payment
律师解读为其实信息不清，道理很简单，即然说almost,就是还有，即然知道还有，
那就应该知道具体信息是什么，那么即然知道具体的人，就应该有还在发payment 人数的信息而不是什么几乎没有，而且知道是Zombie还接着发？说的通吗？
“For example, SSA said “almost none” currently receive SSA payments, which is not the same as none. The number of zombies having checks scattered over their gravesites remains unquantified. A better question is: do they even know? Or were they just guessing? If they did know how many there were —“almost none”— then they must also know who they were, and so they could stop the payments. But apparently not.“
再分析实际上小于100岁的情况也好不到那去
“Or, for another example, how confident are they that deceased people under 100 aren’t still receiving payments? It was never studied.“
其真正的害处可不是社保payment 这么简单
“But the totally ignored second highlighted sentence above explained why direct payments still don’t matter. As the OIG understatedly observed, “these (Zombie) SSNs could allow for a wide range of potential abuse.” The active SSNs, appearing valid in the system, enable fraudsters to apply for and receive a panoply federal, state, and local benefits, like PPP loans.
The OIG warned that nearly every othergovernment agency uses the SSA database to stop improper payments to people who are, well, teats up.
The potential amount of misspent money staggers the imagination and far exceeds any amount to which dearly departed direct SSA payments might sum.
“Millions of deceased numberholders,” the OIG flatly explained, “could result in erroneous payments by other Federal benefit-paying agencies that use the DMF to detect inaccurate or unreported deaths.” The report continued, “it can also hinder private industry, as well as state and local governments’ ability to use the DMF to prevent identity fraud.”
Conspicuously absent from the OIG’s report was any mention of what is likely the real reason for all the bureaucratic snow-blindness: fraudulent voting. I don’t blame him for not mentioning that, either. His report would’ve never seen the light of day. They’ve probably have found him tied up in a sack on the sandy bottom of the Potomac River.“
