ACTIVITY
UpdatedSocial Security reported corrections across nearly 15 percent of active Social Security numbers.
Fifteen Percent fixed. Biggest clean-up, by far!
The work added 17 million missing death dates and approximately 25 million missing citizenship entries.
Dead Dates, Citizenship Boxes, all very important boxes. You cannot run the Country with Blank Boxes, I have said it for a long time, possibly this morning.
The agency said another 8.5 million records with inaccurate citizenship status are being corrected.
Do the Eight Point Five also. We don't stop at almost Clean, that's what the previous people did, little dust under the Database and they walked away!
Very accurate Numbers now. If there is another wrong Number, give it a correct Number and tell me the new Percentage.
PUBLIC RECORD
The Social Security Administration said on October 20 that it had corrected nearly 15 percent of active Social Security numbers across about 330 million citizens and nearly 390 million total records. The agency said it added 17 million missing dates of death, updated about 25 million records that lacked citizenship information using Homeland Security data, and was correcting another 8.5 million records with inaccurate citizenship status. The announcement described record corrections; it did not quantify fraud losses or benefit recoveries.
