Elimination of the 6.5 million+ "zombies" still collecting

You do realize that that 6.5 million aged 112 years old collecting
SS benefits is a bogus number. The SSBN web site says the oldest
collecting SS benefits is 109 years old.

Yes, note, I said "The United States has 6,500,000 'active'
Social Security numbers for people that have reached that age."

Meaning people are using the numbers to get jobs or prosibly to get
benefits, and most likely paying money into SS, on a dead persons
account.

Do you have an authoritative source for that number?
