In a shocking discovery that American taxpayers do not conceive, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered $382 million in an unemployment fraud scheme.
The staggering waste exposes critical flaws in government oversight, which allowed fraudsters to steal millions while bureaucrats ignored them.
DOGE’s explosive audit revealed jaw-dropping details of how tax dollars were siphoned away through impossible unemployment claims.
The fraud included $254 million claimed by 28,000 “workers” between ages 1 and 5, $59 million to 24,500 individuals supposedly over 115 years old, and $69 million to 9,700 people with birth dates more than 15 years in the future.
In one particularly outrageous case, someone born in 2154 claimed $41,000 in unemployment benefits.
Musk, who heads DOGE, expressed his disbelief at the findings.
“Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in,” he declared.
“The oldest living American is 114 years old, so it is safe to say that anyone 115 or older is collecting ‘unemployment’ due to being dead,” he added.
The fraud occurred in plain sight, with state agencies, banks, and federal departments processing these absurd claims without question.
This demonstrates criminal exploitation, catastrophic government incompetence, and a lack of basic verification procedures.
Furthermore, DOGE’s investigation has already resulted in the removal of 7 million Social Security Administration accounts for individuals over 120 years old.
Still, the SSA’s inspector general admitted that the agency’s database assigned incomplete data to a reference point over 150 years ago, creating opportunities for fraudsters.
Even more infuriating, the SSA decided against a $9 million database update that could have fixed these issues, choosing instead to halt benefits to accounts older than 115 years – while doing nothing to address the underlying security flaws.
Although House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) praised DOGE’s efforts to expose government waste, Democrats have predictably expressed “concerns” about the agency’s motives.
Major left-leaning media organizations have largely ignored these shocking findings, continuing their pattern of shielding the past administration from scrutiny over its financial mismanagement.
DOGE’s report calls for urgent reforms, including digitization, biometric and AI verification systems, and federal indictments against perpetrators.
It also calls for an end to bureaucratic immunity, which shields government officials from accountability when they fail to protect taxpayer dollars.
In the end, this audit is just the latest example of how the administrative state wastes billions while hardworking Americans struggle under crushing inflation and tax burdens.
Until government agencies face real consequences for this level of incompetence and oversight failure, American taxpayers will continue funding “unemployment” for toddlers, centenarians, and people who have not even been born yet.
