Fraud..

 

They’ve made grave errors.

The Social Security Administration must do more to prevent benefit checks from going to dead people and Congress should step up to pass safeguards to protect taxpayer dollars from fraud, according to one GOP senator known for cracking down on pork barrel spending.

Ernst cited examples where authorities eventually discovered that dead people were still getting checks, which were often taken by their relatives.

In one instance, Canadian national Ellis Kingsep allegedly cashed in some $420,000 worth of checks for his mom between 1995 and 2023, when she would’ve been 103 years old. The feds later caught Kingsep with books on how to make fake IDS and photocopies of his mother’s signature.
