The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reportedly made notable strides in addressing inaccuracies in the Social Security database, now officially marking seven million individuals, previously recorded as over 120 years old, as deceased.

This update comes after DOGE had earlier informed the public on March 18^th via a posting on its website, stating that from more than 12 million individuals aged 120 and above in their records, approximately 3.2 million had been categorized as deceased.

“For the last 3 weeks, Social Security has been undergoing a comprehensive cleanup of their records. About 7 million individuals listed as age 120+ have now been counted as deceased. There are still around 5 million to verify,” DOGE announced on social media.

As of March 25^th, 2025, the oldest living person in the United States is Naomi Whitehead, born in Georgia on September 26^th, 1910, currently residing in Pennsylvania at the age of 114.

DOGE had also reported last week that over 12 million individuals aged 120 and older were holders of Social Security numbers.

DOGE revealed the following findings from the Social Security database:

• 3,467,066 people aged 120-129
• 3,929,750 people aged 130-139
• 3,548,746 people aged 140-149
• 1,357,967 people aged 150-159

“The logic flow diagram for the Social Security system is absolutely chaotic. No single individual truly understands how it operates. The payment files exchanged between Social Security and Treasury contain considerable discrepancies that remain unresolved. It’s astonishing,” Musk remarked in February.

“There are WAY more ‘eligible’ Social Security numbers than there are citizens in the USA. This could be the largest fraud in history,” he added.

In response to the latest DOGE report, the SSA clarified that the millions do not represent individuals currently receiving benefits, but those lacking a death date linked to their records.

They also stated that while the agency receives millions of death notifications annually, “fewer than one-third of 1 percent are mistakenly reported deaths that require correction.”
