@adamnelson6606that's not true in most cases. I email my reps about things and the last one was not confirming a Trump pick and called it obstructing and going against the will of the people. A bunch of others did the same though i don't think they phrased it the same. But by the end of the week she changed her mind and got onboard.
I had a friend that they reported he was dead improve he wasn't dead. Maybe we should hire people that know what to do instead of people that are supposed to be so well educated they have no clue as what they are doing
Well, the death benefit is a joke and the checks keep rolling in at a time when a family has some extra expenses. Legislation will be needed to address some of these problems.
Now all that needs to be done is to get the states to accurately report on their deceased citizens. Also I have heard of people who do not report the deaths of elderly live-in parents and etc. in order to continue receiving their SSI payments.
He's not a politician. He is a Statesman. Someone who cares deeply about what is best for our country, and how to make it better than it is. He cares about efficiency and stopping the utter waste on the federal level.
He’s lying WTH is wrong with you the government is currently corporate owned. He’s saying that all the ppl that got help during covid are the real problem we the ppl who got stiffed during the pandemic were the problem not the corporations that own your rare politician here
@@maryannbergeron9531 Last time they passed the 5 year version, it was only voted against by a Democrat from Oklahoma = "Senator Wyden" who was worried about cost and the work load being out on the social security department. The reaction was great, basically saying we will work with you on any issues but I'm pretty sure the cost is going to be Far less then the billions we lose each year! And if staffing is an issue, we will make sure to take care of that issue if the bill is passed and again will be happy to sit down to discuss any valid revisions needed but today it passes, after 7 years working on this for me and 3.5 years for senator Kennedy, we're not taking any more time to get this bill done! And it passed/Was proven to be very helpful. So I'm sure this will pass again.
Ask yourselves this - all this information is PROTECTED under PRIVACY laws. If they actually know this is happening - how did they get this information? Have they ALREADY gotten it ILLEGALLY AND NOW trying to pass a law to make it LEGALLY ACCESSIBLE?? There is a REASON this information is protected - especially SS numbers and account information. IF they have this information - and they know for certain this is happening why don’t they stop it? I think most/all of these are for survivors benefits paid to wives, children etc. NOT dead people. Is this just ANOTHER way to gain information about how much EVERYONE gets in their SS checks - not to mention ALL the private information associated with it - especially our SSN - which is tied to our LIFELONG savings - and EVERYTHING else in our lives? Are we going to fund a tax cut to billionaires with our SS savings? EVERY TIME someone else gets involved in my private information, there ends up being a LEAK of my information on the dark web that I have to worry about for years to come. Also - there are LAWS that prevent other government agencies from getting access to our SS numbers and accounts - along with other PRIVATE information. THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS! I really don’t care what politician says what about anything - before ANYONE starts hacking into our PRIVATE information PROTECTED by LAWS - we need to see absolute PROOF that this is happening. If he doesn’t have access to this information how can he possible make these assumptions! Reminder - these same people have tried to say over and over that there is voter fraud everywhere - and there isn’t. Be very careful what you allow ANY political party -or ANYONE to access - you could end up being destitute and homeless. Your SSN is tied TO EVERYTHING. Ask these people if THEY want THEIR information out there too!
Who on earth? EVERYONE should NOT want this or allow this!! This information is tied to EVERYTHING in your entire life - your home, all your banking, etc. accounts, your SS savings, your Medicare, healthcare, your credit, your drivers license, your wife’s accounts, your childrens, EVERYTHING! And it is PROTECTED BY PRIVACY LAWS - even from other government agencies! There are REASONS for this! . And you say you are willing - because a politician tells you to - to allow EVERY GOVERNMENT agency - and God only know who else - access to EVERYTHING about you? You should be fighting this tooth and nail - - as EVERYONE SHOULD! Maybe you trust politicians with your money, your family, your LIFE - but I CERTAINLY don’t! You need to ask yourself WHY - all of a sudden they want all this information- and if they know all this fraud is happening - why haven’t they stopped it before now? I worked in government for 30 years - you DONT want this to happen!!
i absolutely agree why should congress pass a bill when you sure do need members present to pass anything? well anyway regardless of what each member does to the bill you would still have to find out who or what other agencies signed forms ss-5 authorizing clearence to cash those check..
Why now and not before Trump was in charge when this all started both trump and Biden should be call before the senate to answer why they let this happen during their time in the White House
I have much respect for Senator Kennedy, but he claims that the “Act to share the dead SSA was passed in 2020” Yet 1.4 Billion paid to DEAD people in 2023! No Sir, We have a Social Security Administration that are lining their own pockets under the guise of Dead People!! There are too many third and fourth parties within a government process. A dead person’s SS# should be labeled as DEAD just common sense and shouldn’t require an act/bill….If so realize that it’s FRAUD by the SSA
No one in Washington is stupid... they're corrupt.... this is not an accident. Attacking this issue like common sense is the wrong tactic. SSA needs to be put under a microscope and every employee fearful of their jobs until this is fixed. And how about jail time for anyone that was knowingly complicit? They must be getting kickbacks from the illegitimate recipients
i totally agree with you & you have my full support in voting out these corrupt politicians & Admiration involved in Kick-Backs & those who committed the Fraudulent Crime of Stealing From The People’s Retirement Funds… Who are Alive …
They need to stop hiring foreign nationals to approve or, deny SS for Americans. The SS Offices are full of nasty people, many of them aren't even American born citizens and/or, still applying for their citizenship. They don't need to be hired for these positions and taking jobs away from true citizens, I don't care what their resume reads.
Take the bill back to the Senate floor and vote again and pass it immediately! The SSA has to turn over the records and comply! This is disgraceful and despicable! Don’t give money to dead people!
DNS "donations" from billionaire's scam, fleecing the taxpayers to get more crooks elected, that's my hunch, but of course it won't ever be investigated , let alone exposed and will be labeled a "conspiracy theory" .There will always be conspiracy theories when facts are always hidden replaced by lies.
Senator Kennedy, America loves you. You are highly respected and trusted. I am so grateful that I found your UA-cam page.. You are a forced to be reckoned with .👍🏻🙏🏼
The checks wouldn't be mailed to another country. It would just deposited into a bank. Banking is world wide. It just gets put into an account. At the very least, ATM fix everything. Remember the commercial of the guy in Egypt? With the little boy saying ATM fix everything.
In the UK hardly any member of Parliament turns up for debates unless its about a raise for themselves or to claim excess expenses for their two homes whilst keeping the poor even poorer
Back in the day people forged birth certificates so they could get social security early, those that are still alive are likely 80 or 90 so they are 112 on paper from this fraud 40 or 50 years ago.
After my husband passed, it took me two phone calls, a letter, and finally, a visit to the county offices, to have his name expunged from the voter rolls! Also had a minor problem with social security, which required a visit there. Efficient? I think not!
I live in the UK. We have the same problem but on a much, much smaller scale. Now, I cannot understand how anyone, no matter what side of the aisle they are, can defend this waste of money and not prosecute those people stealing government money.
It's more than likely been squandered. The only way to get this money back is if they have any assets that can be seized and liquidated. And anything seized would have to be feasible when you account for all the time and resources as well as prosecution and forfeiture proceedings.
Oh Social Security Association? Workers are fraudulently Stealing the money meant for others?! That's bad, especially when most of them are already well, over fed, overweight...bad what greed makes people do
I am so disgusted by this! S.S.A. has no problem paying dead people, but I can't get them to pay me back the $1420 they wrongfully took in 2014! It's even been approved to repay! I was told "its Confirmed that we owe you, NOT approved to PAY YOU!"
I feel your pain. I got a letter from SS that said I was able to earn 47k/year w/o penalty. However the next year they penalized me for earning too much (36k) They said I should have known that they were lying therefore it was my fault not theirs.
That's what happen when nobody is being held accountable. What is it.... when the gov fear the people we get peace, when the people fear the gov... well, we are here.
Now, who the hell can give these wrongdoers consequences for the wrongdoing?! I’m tired of all the blah blah blah. Is this no longer a constitutional republic? Did they not take an oath to the constitution?
@@jlnrgn Criminal don't follow the law and they lie/cheat/steal/ "blah blah blah". So what if they take the "oath"? Since nobody is enforcing it and there is no consequence, why won't the criminal roam free and more of them? From the things happening, America is no longer a constitutional republic. But than the constitution did hand the ultimate absolute power to THE PEOPLE, the power to bear arm. The power to take up arm. You (THE PEOPLE) are the 4th branch of government in the check and balance of the government. I"m reducing my tax footprint, only legal way I can see to not support this corrupt government. I know it's not much and not affective. Heads need to roll. We need to bring back JUSTICE. The people are too divided right now for anything affective to be done. We need to be united to fight this cancer.
Just the TIP OF The ICEBERG! IRS ROUTINELY sends out 20 billion ANNUALLY in EASILY IDENTIFIABLE BOGUS RETURNS! HOW EASY WHEN 1000'S OF FALSE REFUNDS GO TO THE SAME MAILING ADDRESSES!!! TOTAL INCOMPETENCE!
Senator Kennedy, I am greatly honored to be able to vote for you, and sir, I will ALWAYS vote for you! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to your people and our State of Louisiana, along with our Country, The United States of America! We love you Senator Kennedy! Thank you!! You are in our Prayers. 💞🇺🇲💞
A lot of this happens right through the probate courts and the judge knows about it, while the judge approves the paperwork, the judge approves what the conservator and their lawyers doing and the judge proves with The Guardian alightum, and what the? Guardian does. And they do nothing but steal. They steal from the federal government when they're also stealing from a vpregnant. And they just let it happen even after the veteran. Died, they let it happen through the paperwork. For a veteran's Life Insurance, everybody gets paid and that's not the way it's. Go through the veterans Life Insurance. Only the immediate family is to be paid. Not their grandchildren, not the great-grandchildren, not the cousins, not the neighbors, not the your friends, not the g. El, and Is not the Conservative that this paid money out of the account a 1000 here, a 1000 there. Who's getting those thousands of dollars? I mean, my sister right there. When they sold the house, she said right in court. I hope they don't find out. We sold the house and they found out the VA. Found out because I sent it to them. You sell the house, you don't get money. So they're cheating through the court system.Don't put anybody in the guardianship
This is about 95 billion dollars a year on an ongoing basis just for the 112 year olds. That money is either being collected by people who have technically stolen the identity of dead people or the money is not being collected because the dead people are not "cashing the checks" and the money is accumulating in the SSA slush fund.
This list SHOULD be distributed to EVERY government agency that sends even $1.00 in checks and it should be MANDATORY to check the list prior to sending ANY CHECKS!!!
"The government must stop paying dead people." Are you serious Sen. Kennedy? If the government did that, how else would they vote! God bless this nation, God bless everybody.
Incredible. Thank you Senator, for finally bringing this up. This has been a long time coming. At least it's being researched and brought to light to the American people. We rely on the government to be accountable and to serve us.
Kinda ironic the SSA will not question sending money to deceased folks, yet living, breathing folks gotta nearly beg for their own money. It concerns me that an entity in charge of our money believes we have so many 112 yr olds in the USA
When my parent's passed as they passed, we ( my family) filed all the paperwork, so no money was being sent to them and being used that way we were not defrauding the Government!
That's crazy! They tried to say i was stealing my mother's pass through money.. 80.00 per month while she was in the nursing home. Good grief. I didn't touch a dime although i was on her account. I showed proof and they dropped it. But... Why on earth are they wasting resources for that small garbage? Is it all a smoke screen while they are also cashing checks of those who are passed on??
Yes, I've got a sneaking suspicion that it is someone in the SSA, otherwise why wouldn't they be transparent with the information of the deceased-- especially with other agencies ⁉️
Sen Kennedy, I live in AZ but I love to listen to you speak so succinctly, down to earth, with colloquialism. The zingers you slip in there are like darts and hit home. I laugh at your use of them. Kudos.
who would object to this? that should be another list made public - anyone who objects in house or senate we need to know dishonest politicians on a 'hit list' this is just common sense and should have 100% support.
My mother died on a Thursday her Check had been deposited Wed. We used this to get family to her as she was on life support. We were informed it needed paid back. But Not ONE persons name comes off the Voters Roles unless a Family member removes their name! Social Security should auto remove checks And Voting Automatically Nationwide!!!
PA here my husband died June 6th he just started getting benefits that year and worked still . But benefits stopped before July without any actions by our family
Well GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T HAVE SECRET Documents that they don't let us see you work for us we should see everything that you have there shouldn't be any documents that are secretive !!!
I was executor for my Mother's estate and she died in 2009. I never have recieved one check for her from the government since then. I'm wandering how these dead people continue to recieve checks.
Where’s the money? Stop paying dead people? Put the overpayment back into the general social security fund? Follow the lifestyle of government workers after they retire or leave the government to find out if they come upon large amounts of money that they have no reasonable explanation for the origin of the money? Investigate them all and seize any money or assets that were obtained using money that they cannot legally account for its origin?
Why do some politicians disagree with this bill? What do they gain by paying people who passed away? Maybe they were born smart and too many years of political power rotted their brain .
that is the stupidest thing I have heard why would 1 government agency have to pay another for info that should be common property between them all.. Its the same at the state level more than once I have had to provide my husbands death certificate to another department with in the same state guess they dont know what a database is
The Man,the myth, the Legend Great Senator from the Red State of Louisiana Mr.Kennedy🫡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! YOU SIR a Honest decent Patriot in the Senate.🙏🏼🕊️🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇸❤️
Thank you for looking into this....now congress...lets see some action. ..what do you need to do to change things in order to force all agencies to share appropriate agencies? If these agencies and staff members do not follow on this...why aren't they being fired for not doing their job?
Agree. Only warning to them is there are still very old people who must prove to the IRS they are theirselves. It took my mother three years to do so to get her little refund back. She doesn't do cell phone, email or computer so we couldn't even help her. If she was at our house, they wanted a video conference then proof of paperwork and info that was at her house. I can't even tell you the hundreds of hours I spent helping her. She's now 89 praise the Lord and has finally resolved she exists. So, it's a double edged sword. If I hadn't helped her, I don't know where she would be.-John's wife
Give us a list of any member of congress not voting for this bill.
Absolutely agree!!!!!

Absolutely!!!
DemoBRATS obviously. The same old socialist crap, allow people to fleece the government they hate but more than happy take their money 🙄
Post them on billboards, send emails with large type subject line, and ask news reporters to ask them WHY every chance they get.
AND WE WANT THE MONEY BACK. Its tax payers money.
law requires the return of government money improperly paid out.
We want reparations for money lost!
Why are we paying to have a death certificate sent to the social security office when you're on government agencies
I had a friend that they reported he was dead improve he wasn't dead. Maybe we should hire people that know what to do instead of people that are supposed to be so well educated they have no clue as what they are doing
Tell it to Mr. Kennedy who's gonna stand behind project 2025 which is gonna lower your income.
I hope people go to prison for this crime. UNBELIEVABLE
No one will be punished for this, only promoted.

Sometimes they do; but often the "criminal" is a very old person. Any "prison time" would just be a high security nursing home.
@@GilmerJohn True, it is often an elderly spouse
Biden will just pardon them.
Shouldn't these 87,000 new IRS agents be looking for the people cashing these checks?
they shouldn't be sending them out in the first place, but yes agree
Yes! IRS needs to go after this fraud
No they just need to all be fired from the irs
That would keep them busy. Especially tracking down those 6.5 million 112+ year old seniors.

Geee....I wonder why Social Security is going broke!?!?

It's more than likely been squandered. The only way to get this money back is if they have any assets that can be seized and liquidated. And anything seized would have to be feasible when you account for all the time and resources as well as prosecution and forfeiture proceedings.

@johnchandler1687 that's true, they need a big reform of that whole corrupt system
These people who are cashing these checks need to be in jail!!!!!!!
He always makes so much sense! Why does he have to beg to get people to do what is right?
My question will be why they don’t want to sign that bill 🤨 Thank you Senators Kennedy 🙏💯
Unbelievable!!
It's the same Senators that want to let felons and prisoners vote!
Because *some* people won’t be as rich.
Somehow the money is funneled back into their pockets
I am so disgusted by this! S.S.A. has no problem paying dead people, but I can't get them to pay me back the $1420 they wrongfully took in 2014! It's even been approved to repay! I was told "its Confirmed that we owe you, NOT approved to PAY YOU!"
😡🤦🏾♀️🙏🏾
I feel your pain. I got a letter from SS that said I was able to earn 47k/year w/o penalty. However the next year they penalized me for earning too much (36k) They said I should have known that they were lying therefore it was my fault not theirs.
WTAF?@@larryulrich9110
I'd be flooding my congress and senate representatives emailing them everyday.
@larryulrich9110 Right, it's not their fault they hire incompetent people... it's yours!
Well, whatever were you thinking?
How Pathetically Criminal. Thank you Sen Kennedy 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸.
That's what happen when nobody is being held accountable. What is it.... when the gov fear the people we get peace, when the people fear the gov... well, we are here.
Now, who the hell can give these wrongdoers consequences for the wrongdoing?! I’m tired of all the blah blah blah. Is this no longer a constitutional republic? Did they not take an oath to the constitution?
@ Thank you for your reply 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸.
@@jlnrgn Criminal don't follow the law and they lie/cheat/steal/ "blah blah blah". So what if they take the "oath"? Since nobody is enforcing it and there is no consequence, why won't the criminal roam free and more of them?
From the things happening, America is no longer a constitutional republic. But than the constitution did hand the ultimate absolute power to THE PEOPLE, the power to bear arm. The power to take up arm. You (THE PEOPLE) are the 4th branch of government in the check and balance of the government.
I"m reducing my tax footprint, only legal way I can see to not support this corrupt government. I know it's not much and not affective. Heads need to roll. We need to bring back JUSTICE. The people are too divided right now for anything affective to be done. We need to be united to fight this cancer.
Just the TIP OF The ICEBERG! IRS ROUTINELY sends out 20 billion ANNUALLY in EASILY IDENTIFIABLE BOGUS RETURNS! HOW EASY WHEN 1000'S OF FALSE REFUNDS GO TO THE SAME MAILING ADDRESSES!!! TOTAL INCOMPETENCE!
Senator Kennedy,
I am greatly honored to be able to vote for you, and sir, I will ALWAYS vote for you! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to your people and our State of Louisiana, along with our Country, The United States of America! We love you Senator Kennedy!
Thank you!! You are in our Prayers. 💞🇺🇲💞
Senator Kennedy is our national treasure! We must pay more attention to him!!!
Him? Foghorn Leghorn? What a sack of excrement!
😂
Check his voting Adhereance to the Constitution? Poooooor!
I bet a majority of that fraud is happening in the poorest states. AKA Republican states. Desperate people do desperate things.
I say the SSA has long been riddled with poor management.
A lot of this happens right through the probate courts and the judge knows about it, while the judge approves the paperwork, the judge approves what the conservator and their lawyers doing and the judge proves with The Guardian alightum, and what the?
Guardian does. And they do nothing but steal. They steal from the federal government when they're also stealing from a vpregnant. And they just let it happen even after the veteran. Died, they let it happen through the paperwork. For a veteran's Life Insurance, everybody gets paid and that's not the way it's. Go through the veterans Life Insurance. Only the immediate family is to be paid. Not their grandchildren, not the great-grandchildren, not the cousins, not the neighbors, not the your friends, not the g. El, and Is not the Conservative that this paid money out of the account a 1000 here, a 1000 there. Who's getting those thousands of dollars? I mean, my sister right there. When they sold the house, she said right in court. I hope they don't find out. We sold the house and they found out the VA. Found out because I sent it to them.
You sell the house, you don't get money. So they're cheating through the court system.Don't put anybody in the guardianship
So, according to the government, you CAN take it with you.
Ha!
Dems made a deal with god
No they made a deal with the devil 😈 @@jeffrowson8974

@@jeffrowson8974 Dems made a deal with Satan.
Thank you Senator Kennedy. We the people agree with you.
Who are the ones cashing the checks? Who should be held accountable for this,
I am so grateful for senator John KENNEDY. I wish we could have one like him in every state. 🇺🇸💯
Robert, John is deceased
Yes. Let wisdom reign
@@RichelleWatson615😬😉
In Kentucky we have Sen Rand Paul and James Comer
God Bless This very Intelligent Senator!!!!! Always TELLING IT JUST LIKE IT IS!!!!
This Stupidity of the government needs to stop..how stupid!! WON'T SHARE INFO REALLY???? WHO IS CASHING CHECKS ??
This is about 95 billion dollars a year on an ongoing basis just for the 112 year olds. That money is either being collected by people who have technically stolen the identity of dead people or the money is not being collected because the dead people are not "cashing the checks" and the money is accumulating in the SSA slush fund.
. most checks are direct deposited. All you would have to do is not close the account.
This list SHOULD be distributed to EVERY government agency that sends even $1.00 in checks and it should be MANDATORY to check the list prior to sending ANY CHECKS!!!
Love this gentleman! &e is so honest and brave...
"The government must stop paying dead people." Are you serious Sen. Kennedy? If the government did that, how else would they vote! God bless this nation, God bless everybody.
Yes. THIS.
True!
And yet ssa continues to get away with this lack of cooperation.
God bless Senator Kennedy for his service. Thank you, Senator Kennedy.
Incredible. Thank you Senator, for finally bringing this up. This has been a long time coming. At least it's being researched and brought to light to the American people. We rely on the government to be accountable and to serve us.
Kinda ironic the SSA will not question sending money to deceased folks, yet living, breathing folks gotta nearly beg for their own money. It concerns me that an entity in charge of our money believes we have so many 112 yr olds in the USA
Because they're home taking a bubble bath when we think they're working at home.
It shouldn’t have to be a law for social security to share that list of which they require funds to do so. It should be a requirement
AMEN.
Don't pay the wages of the Social Security Administration until they give you the information you want. Hold their wages.
SSA must follow the law. If the law does not allow the release of information, they cannot release the information.
Same as the pentagon, can't find where their money went, it ain't a billion, it's trillions, lots of jail time waiting them?

I second your proposal, Senator J. Kennedy! C. Schultz, N.C. 27591
Sensible words from Senator Kennedy!
Thank you Mr Kennedy for looking out for the American people.
Make it a executive order ,Trump will sign it.
Worth a try anyway.
The worst he can do is say no.
Trump will sign it God bless our next generation.
Better idea - just enforce the laws we already have. SS, Medicare, Medicaid fraud is rampant.
EXACTLY!!
Executive orders are not permanent.
Senator Kennedy you are truly doing Gods work
A senator WHO ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING.
Amazing isn't it? Wish he would come to Missouri. 😊
I hope DOGE can fix this and the rest of the pipe line of spending
Why you think they are fighting against it….
@@Really730-om4uibecause some of them are involved.
Because Elon is going to cut all VA, social security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits.
When my parent's passed as they passed, we ( my family) filed all the paperwork, so no money was being sent to them and being used that way we were not defrauding the Government!
Yeah it's already illegal.
You’re the only one who sees thru the BS and calls it out in such a way that it’s easy to see and hard to deny, Mr. Kennedy. Thank you!
The most honest man to be proud of you Mr. Kennedy ty.
They must have an office of government ineptitude.
They better quit letting them vote, too!
HOW DARE YOU!!! the dead have a right to be represnted ,you DEADIST!!! STOP YOUR DEADISM!!! they should march !!
Thank you Senator Kennedy 😊
That's crazy! They tried to say i was stealing my mother's pass through money.. 80.00 per month while she was in the nursing home. Good grief. I didn't touch a dime although i was on her account. I showed proof and they dropped it. But... Why on earth are they wasting resources for that small garbage? Is it all a smoke screen while they are also cashing checks of those who are passed on??
Thank you Sen. Kennedy. !Pass the bill.
And it's about time.
Yes, I've got a sneaking suspicion that it is someone in the SSA, otherwise why wouldn't they be transparent with the information of the deceased-- especially with other agencies ⁉️
They have to have an example of someone so they can cover up their bs
What companies are committing this crime? Could be Nursing homes not just individual people. Either way it is illegal.
Sen Kennedy, I live in AZ but I love to listen to you speak so succinctly, down to earth, with colloquialism. The zingers you slip in there are like darts and hit home. I laugh at your use of them. Kudos.
Love this guy...he is so intelligent & has a sense of humor like no other. 😂
How the hell is dead people voting not an equally MAJOR bridge too far??? 🤷🏻♂️
who would object to this? that should be another list made public - anyone who objects in house or senate we need to know dishonest politicians on a 'hit list' this is just common sense and should have 100% support.
And they wonder what happened to Social security.
Praise John Kennedy, he is a great senator
Perfectly said Mr. Kennedy never truer word spoken. Thanks for the good your doing.
Just think we have such a low bar for our government and politicians
If they were to just fix this
We would probably explode in 😂😂😂😂😂😂praise
Thank you Senator Kennedy 🇺🇸
My mother died on a Thursday her Check had been deposited Wed. We used this to get family to her as she was on life support. We were informed it needed paid back.
But Not ONE persons name comes off the Voters Roles unless a Family member removes their name!
Social Security should auto remove checks And Voting Automatically Nationwide!!!
sound so complicated. Blessing be to you and your family. Indeed.
PA here my husband died June 6th he just started getting benefits that year and worked still . But benefits stopped before July without any actions by our family
They owe us so much money! Gov owes us 2.7 trillion!
SS CESTA QUE 3rd account! You have no idea how much money the Government has kept from us!
Well GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T HAVE SECRET Documents that they don't let us see you work for us we should see everything that you have there shouldn't be any documents that are secretive !!!
THANK YOU SENATOR KENNEDY. ❤❤. ARE THEY DOING EVERYTHING TO CHANGE IT YET ???
I was executor for my Mother's estate and she died in 2009. I never have recieved one check for her from the government since then. I'm wandering how these dead people continue to recieve checks.
AGREE. MON PASSED O7 HUSBAND O5.
The ssa is funneling money to their own accounts folks😂
Dirty corrupt government offices with the same dirty corrupt government servants...
my mom passed and her social stopped right way somebody is stealing the money
They should make these people repay that money back.
This is unbelievable and there is no excuse for this!!!
Where’s the money? Stop paying dead people? Put the overpayment back into the general social security fund? Follow the lifestyle of government workers after they retire or leave the government to find out if they come upon large amounts of money that they have no reasonable explanation for the origin of the money? Investigate them all and seize any money or assets that were obtained using money that they cannot legally account for its origin?
Why would anyone with a brain oppose this bill
Money
You need to use the brain, not use it for a hair growth factory.!!! Government, you gotta love it. ,...or do you?
Very good work done Sen Kennedy…..as always. We all love you.
Gotta LOVE Senator Kennedy!!!
Why do some politicians disagree with this bill? What do they gain by paying people who passed away? Maybe they were born smart and too many years of political power rotted their brain .
Well sir, it just makes sense. I’m a fan of what ur proposing. I can’t for the life me understand y everyone wouldn’t be in support of it.
WHO IS CASHING THE CHECKS????
I DONT CARE WHO GETS TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS,BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REVEALED!!!
that is the stupidest thing I have heard why would 1 government agency have to pay another for info that should be common property between them all.. Its the same at the state level more than once I have had to provide my husbands death certificate to another department with in the same state guess they dont know what a database is
💯 Let the SSA know we now live in a digital world‼️ it's not rocket science‼️
Within days of my mother's passing away, I called Social Security and let them know.
Get rid of schumer
Get rid of pelosi
Get rid of raskin
Get rid of schumer

The Man,the myth, the Legend Great Senator from the Red State of Louisiana Mr.Kennedy🫡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! YOU SIR a Honest decent Patriot in the Senate.🙏🏼🕊️🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇸❤️
This Really pisses me off who is getting the dead persons money ?
Thank you for looking into this....now congress...lets see some action. ..what do you need to do to change things in order to force all agencies to share appropriate agencies? If these agencies and staff members do not follow on this...why aren't they being fired for not doing their job?
Agree. Only warning to them is there are still very old people who must prove to the IRS they are theirselves. It took my mother three years to do so to get her little refund back. She doesn't do cell phone, email or computer so we couldn't even help her. If she was at our house, they wanted a video conference then proof of paperwork and info that was at her house. I can't even tell you the hundreds of hours I spent helping her. She's now 89 praise the Lord and has finally resolved she exists. So, it's a double edged sword. If I hadn't helped her, I don't know where she would be.-John's wife
I hope Elon and Vivek see this.
why its probably a lie based on one story from tears ago
@ Senator Kennedy doesn’t lie.
@edthebumblingfool are you a recipient of a dead persons check?
@@denab1767 He just forgot to mention this happened in 2020, under the Trump administration
