#1 Sounds like one of those big firm audits where they have twentysomethings from ivy league schools go through your records.

They really need an ORSE board level inspection.

#2 OK, I understand that just because somebody's in SS's records, it doesn't mean that they necessarily draw benefits.
Here's the thing. If someone of current age 369 was recorded on original files, they had to be at least 250 at the earliest records (Aug 14, 1935). Or they were added later.
Either way, your records obviously have errors.
That was just the first look at the records, without detailed examination. (I have read that SSA challenges people in regards to benefits at age 115. OK, good.)

#3 "It only looks like dead people are collecting benefits because our record-keeping sucks. So there."

#4 More interesting is who were these records shared with, particularly political parties. There must be a trail.
