The quote attributed to one Lori Doro, “…my granddaughter has less rights than I have.”
I have asked this of many people over the last few weeks but have not received any semblance of a coherent or concrete answer; What rights have been taken away? And to the sentiment expressed by Mrs. Doro, What rights does she have that her granddaughter does not?
I watched an interview of Elon Musk and 7 members of the DOGE team, and they claim they have found 15 million people who are using social security no.’s of deceased people, costing Social Security millions of dollars a month. They are fixing this issue by upgrading Social Security’s computers, so computers from different departments can communicate with each other. Now, the dept. which handles disbursements will know when someone passes away. They also claim that bad actors are stealing social security no.’s from people who legitimately receive SS benefits, and then they call Social Security to have the bank on file changed, therefor ripping off deserving recipients who use direct deposit. Social Security has added a new policy, requiring recipients to go to a Social Security office with ID if they want to change their mailing address or bank info, if, they don’t have a My Social Security account. This is a fraud prevention policy. You can watch the interview on the DOGE website. Scroll down and look for Special Report. https://doge.gov
I just read this update about new Social Security policies: “The past few months have seen considerable changes at the agency under the Trump administration, which announced new verification standards that were later walked back by officials who said they were evaluating policies to prevent fraud.”
“The updated policies have caused some concerns for rural communities and people who require assistance to travel to the in-person offices or those who have trouble logging in to their accounts online for help. The final memo on its website said the agency would work with the public to address the issues.” The Hill: by Ashleigh Fields – 04/11/25 2:25 PM ET
