Social Security
2025 March
2025-03-04 During a joint address to Congress, Trump made unfounded claims that over 15M people were illegally receiving Social Security, stating recipients ranged in age from 100 to 360 years old. The unfounded claim did not address the fact that the Social Security Administration requires in-person verification with a doctor to provide or continue benefits. The breakdown he gave is this: Millions (non-specific) ages 100-109, 3.6M ages 110-119, 3.47M ages 120-129, 3.5M ages 140-149, 1.3M ages 150-159, 130K over the age of 160, 1039 people aged 220-229, 1 person somewhere between 240 and 249, 1 person age 360, making a total well over 16M.
