DOGE reveals bizarre findings of unemployment insurance claims survey: 'This is so crazy'
'I had to read it several times before it sank in," Elon Musk noted
By Alex Nitzberg Fox News
Published April 10, 2025 6:02am EDT

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) account on X shared eyebrow-raising findings from a survey of unemployment insurance claims.

The "initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020" found that thousands of people with future birthdates claimed benefits.

The survey also indicated that thousands of supposedly very young and very old people had claimed benefits.

The DOGE post states that the survey found, "24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits," "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."

"In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k," the post also notes.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Labor for comment early on Thursday morning, but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

"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," Elon Musk tweeted.

Musk is spearheading the DOGE effort to uncover waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

"The oldest living American is 114 years old, so it is safe to say that anyone 115 or older is collecting 'unemployment' due to being dead. There was no sanity check for impossibly young or impossibly old people for unemployment insurance," he noted in another post.

Maybe this is the big DOGE revelation the press secretary referenced.

Not being really reported widely  but kudos for Elon quietly knocking Narvarro off the ledge.

Not a peep from ol' Pete since about 3 PM yesterday.

Or the birth date was wrong in the system. But that isn't convenient enough of a scapegoat for the Meme Department.

And why Elon was the first to say, that mistakes might happen, and can be fixed on the fly....  or case by case by each agency.

DOGE is the best thing to happen politically in my lifetime.  Throwing cold water like you just did, kills the buzz.  Get on board, and support.  Because Musk is doing this as a civic and patriotic effort.  He deserves our support and enthusiasm.

DOGE needs to be permanently approved by Congress. This cannot be a onetime adventure.

WHOA! DOGE Makes Three Major Findings Regarding Unemployment Benefits Fraud, Including One Discovery That Left Elon Musk Shocked: “So Crazy I Had to Read It Several Times”
by Cullen Linebarger Apr. 10, 2025 9:30 am1431 Comments


The fraud within the United States government is so rampant that it is leaving Elon Musk shocked.

On Wednesday, The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced its findings from an initial survey of unemployment insurance claims since 2020 and uncovered three stunning discoveries regarding unemployment fraud.

There is one that even the Babylon Bee would find far-fetched.

What they found will leave you livid:
 
24,500 people over 115 years old claimed $59 million in benefits.

28,000 people under the age of five claimed $254 million in benefits.

9,700 people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69 million in benefits. In one case, a person with a birthday in 2154 who claimed $41,000 in benefits.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
