Taxpayer money is being stolen in one of the most absurd government frauds ever discovered as the DOGE has uncovered $382 million in fraudulent unemployment claims.
The claims were made by impossible recipients, including toddlers, time travelers, and the impossibly elderly.
The stunning audit reveals the depths of corruption and incompetence within the federal systems.
Among the fraudsters claiming unemployment benefits were 24,500 people supposedly over 115 years old, who collectively received $59 million in benefits.
For perspective, the oldest living American is only 114 years old, making these claims obviously fraudulent.
Even more outrageous, 28,000 children between ages 1 and 5 somehow “collected” $254 million in unemployment benefits meant for working adults.
Perhaps most bizarre of all, DOGE discovered that 9,700 people with birth dates more than 15 years in the future managed to claim $69 million in benefits.
In one particularly egregious case, someone with a listed birth year of 2154 – more than 130 years from now – received $41,000 in taxpayer funds.
This level of absurdity would be comical if it were not stealing directly from the American people who fund these programs through their hard-earned tax dollars.
DOGE head Elon Musk expressed shock at the findings, which expose just how vulnerable government systems are to exploitation.
Moreover, the investigation revealed that these fraudulent claims occurred in plain sight, with multiple agencies – including state offices, banks, and federal departments – processing and approving these obviously impossible applications.
“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,” Musk said.
The revelations come as part of a broader effort by DOGE to identify waste and corruption in government spending.
Their audit efforts previously resulted in the removal of 7 million Social Security Administration accounts for individuals over 120 years old, another indicator of how severely compromised these systems have become.
Rather than fix the problem immediately, the SSA opted against a $9 million database update that could have prevented millions in fraudulent claims.
While conservative media outlets have covered this major discovery, many left-leaning organizations have remained silent about this taxpayer-funded scandal.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has praised DOGE’s efforts to expose government waste.
At the same time, Democrats have voiced concerns about the agency’s motives – a typical deflection tactic when confronted with evidence of massive government inefficiency that does not fit their narrative of expanding federal programs.
The DOGE report calls for immediate reforms, including digitizing outdated systems, implementing biometric and AI verification methods, federal indictments for those responsible, and ending bureaucratic immunity that shields government workers from consequences.
Moreover, this scandal is the latest example of how the bloated federal government continues to waste billions in taxpayer dollars while demanding more from hardworking Americans who struggle to make ends meet.
As this investigation continues to unfold, the American people deserve full transparency and accountability from those responsible for safeguarding public funds.
This explosive revelation demands swift, comprehensive reforms in an era desperately seeking fiscal responsibility.
Taxpayers deserve assurance that their hard-earned money supports families in need, not phantom claims benefiting fraudsters who are either aged or future-born fraudsters.
