THE CENTER SQUARE—The Department of Government Efficiency shared several examples of alleged unemployment fraud on its X account Thursday, the latest in its string of examples since President Donald Trump took office.
DOGE’s “initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020” included tens of thousands of claims for hundreds of millions of dollars from people over 115 years old, between 1 and 5 years old, and even some who haven’t yet been born.
Since 2020, DOGE said it found that “24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits,” as well as “28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits,” and “9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits.”
The post concluded by listing a discovery of claims amounting to $41,000 for someone with a birthday in 2154.
