Are these social security recipients, or just people in the system? If someone goes missing or emigrates and as a result they aren't stricken off the roster when they die this is a vulnerability, but it's not itself proof that the vulnerability is being exploited.
Very good point/question, but interestingly, there are over 1000 "people" in the system aged 220+ years old. SSNs appear to have been created in 1936, 89 years ago. Something else other than emigration is going on given that there weren't 1000+ emigrating/missing 130-year-olds in the US in 1936.

Are SSNs of dead people being reassigned and causing false positives?
SSNs of dead people are being used.
I'm not sure what that's a false positive for. It's an indicator of some type of fraud.
