May 16, 2025An internal #Trump administration document reportedly shows that anti-fraud checks recently installed at the #SocialSecurity agency have found just two cases of potentially improper benefit claims out of more than 110,000—a rate of 0.0018%.
The documents, first reported Thursday by #Nextgov/FCW, further undercut President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's narrative that Social Security is brimming with fraud. #Musk falsely claimed in March that "40% of the calls into Social Security were fraudulent."
