Just to clarify (because it is super fucked) these aren't confirmed benefit recipients, only SS numbers of people the system has issued a number to, and considers ALIVE.

Because of course the 0-9 bracket wouldn't be able to claim benefits.

What it shows is how retarded the books are. They could turn off the spigot to any SS number over 110 years old, and all of a sudden, the Social Security system is good for another 20 years at minimum.

Hopefully they look deeper than that.
