What the facts show about Trump's claim millions over 100 are getting social security payments

Lee Dudek, Social Security's acting commissioner, acknowledged recent reports about beneficiaries older than 100, highlighting flaws in the data management system.
Reports indicate that from 2015 to 2022, Social Security paid out nearly $8.6 trillion, with $71.8 billion in improper payments, according to the Treasury and Social Security inspector general.
Experts, including Chuck Blahous, argue that claims about massive fraud mislead the public, as Social Security error rates are relatively low compared to other federal agencies.
