In addition, fraudulent claims where people who were allegedly 160 years old were receiving checks were also eliminated from the program.

About 275,000 illegal migrants have been excised from Social Security’s database, President Donald Trump said.
In addition, tens of thousands of more recipients of Social Security benefits who were over 160 years of age and receiving checks were removed from the system, according to Newsmax.
During the 90th anniversary of Social Security, the taxpayer funded safety net for seniors, Trump made the announcement at the Oval Office. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the program in 1935.
“We’ve already kicked nearly 275,000 illegal aliens off of the Social Security system,” Trump said. “Many of them have already left the country, and yet we were sending them checks all the time.”
“And what that’s doing is making the system strong,” Trump said. “[Joe] Biden never kicked anybody off. Everybody joined. And we’re carrying out historic deportations to remove many more illegals committing Social Security fraud. It’s a Social Security fraud that was taking place at levels that nobody’s ever seen.”

“We cleared 12.4 million names listed in the Social Security database over 120 years of age. Think of that. So, we had 12.4 million names where they were over 120 years old. Is that right? That’s a hell of a statement. … There were nearly 135,000 people listed who were over 160 years old and in some cases, getting payments. So, somebody’s getting those payments, and we’re after that,” Trump said.
“Under Biden, Social Security went down like nobody’s ever seen,” Trump said. “It deteriorated. There’s never been anything like it. The four years [under] Biden were very, very destructive.”
“It couldn’t have gone on much longer [or] Social Security was going to be destroyed. It was being destroyed,” Trump said. “The average call wait time reached an all-time high of more than 42 minutes. Field office wait times were at 32 minutes, which is unheard of. And the disability claims backlog was the longest ever in recorded history. In other words, it was run just like the country was run. It was run really badly.”
Your action is key to winning the next Presidential Election.
