The Department of Government Efficiency said on April 24 that records for millions of recipients aged 120 or older have been updated as part of a “major cleanup” at the Social Security Administration (SSA).

The department has been conducting the cleanup for several weeks as it seeks to crack down on wasteful government spending and fraud. About 11 million social security recipients listed as being aged 120 or older have now been marked as deceased, DOGE stated in a social media post.
