    The actual payment system stops payments automatically at age 115 and requires manual verification to restart. The database that is being reported is not even a report of who is getting paid.

    This is just dramatic, public evidence of the arrogance and incompetence of DOGE from down to his racist younglings.

    For a while, I thought they would at least be good at technology. This episode shows that even that is not true.

    How he chose this elite group of chuckleheads is an eyebrow raiser. Other than racism, they seem to have no credentials at all. I mean, on brand for this administration I guess.

      115 sounds too late imo, payments should need manual verification way earlier

        There are other verification procedures in place as well. This is something like a failsafe.

          Absolutely, DOGE is obviously committing crimes doing what they are doing

        Too bad he let go of all the employees that would be responsible for that manual verification.

        They’re going to need lots more people going around talking to old people because you don’t want to rely on public records
