“. 28k children aged between 1-5 years claimed 254M dollars in benefits
“- 9,7k people with dates of birth over 15 years into the future claimed $69M benefits
In one case, a person with a birthdate in 2154 was awarded $41k.
Separately, DOGE announced that “California accounted for the majority of these incorrect claims, totaling over $305M in benefits.”
California also accounted for 68% of the unemployment benefits paid by CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) to parolees who were identified on the terrorist watchlist or had criminal records.
