Treasury Blocks $99M to Deceased Recipients | California News
About this episode
The Treasury has blocked nearly $100 million in federal payments to deceased recipients through a new fraud-fighting system.
Treasury just halted nearly $100 million in federal payments—going to people who’ve passed away—thanks to a new fraud-fighting system launched under Trump’s executive order. After reviewing 885 million payments totaling $2.77 trillion, officials flagged 4,900 payments, saving taxpayers money by ensuring funds reach living recipients. The system, powered by permanent access to Social Security death records (formally authorized by Congress this year), closes a long-standing loophole and reinforces government accountability.
