When a person dies, unless they are buried in the yard (as in the TV show Shameless), the undertaker notifies Social Security. Since a person receiving Social Security retirement benefits does not begin receiving a check until the month AFTER they begin to collect, they are entitled to keep the check they received in the month of death. IDK what they are looking for and how much money they expect to recoup. Now if they are talking about SSI, which is essentially federal welfare and a paltry sum at that - lucky if you can buy groceries with that amount - that is an "entitlement" not the money I paid in (double as a self-employed person), but it seems that they don't know the difference. I have no problem paying for people to have SSI. It's the least we can do for the disabled. I am going to live to 100 just so that I can get every penny and then some. LOL. Musk is a waste of life. Glad to see the protests. It gives me hope.
Simply put, Social Security is an insurance policy that the government makes you buy. People are confused about the word "entitlement." They think it means they are entitled to the money they paid in, but that's now how it works. Some people pay into it for 50 years and die before collecting. An "entitlement" requires a means test to see if you're eligible for benefits, like Section 8 housing, SNAP benefits, welfare, etc.
Since every accusation and grievance in the MAGA universe is actually a projection, it's no surprise that DOGE is full of shit. Those geeks are getting paid hella money to root out so far almost no bona fide WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE, while DOGE's mere existence is WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE. Next time they try to barge into agencies with no actual authority, I wish someone would punch them out. Or kick them in their Big Balls.
Social Security IS an "entitlement!" If you are a citizen, and meet the eligibility requirements, you are ENTITLED to receive benefits from SSA. It's THAT damned simple, folks. I personally blame that fat fuckstick Newt Gingrich for poisoning American minds regarding our entitlements. Make sure he rots in hell, please.
That's not correct. SS is an insurance policy the government makes you buy. Entitlements are things like welfare, SNAP, etc. which is means tested to see if you are "entitled" to the benefits.
Nancy Pelosi was asked years ago when decorum when to hell in DC. She said it was when Gnewt (sic) Gingrich showed up.
I think John means it's an 'entitlement' in the sense that we're entitled to it since it's OUR money that is paid into it and we are entitled to get it back. That's why I've always considered it an entitlement, anyway!
No. I mean it just like I wrote it: it is an entitlement. Look up what entitlements are according to the US Government. If you are a citizen, and you meet the requirements of WHATEVER program you are applying for, you are ENTITLED to those benefits. It's simple.
Look at what an entitlement means, as far as US government programs are concerned. I agree about Gingrich; I have known him since the 1970s, and he's only gotten worse.
I don't know if I can only speak for myself here, but don't we all want to put out a collective scream for help? To the world? How about we take our grievances to the international criminal court?
How about confront and embarrass anyone you know (or see or hear) say something to shake the Bloody BeJesus from the spiderweb the right calls brains. Asking the rest of the world to bail us out is truly not a response we expect from Progressive Women, now is it? How a bout remind the rest of the world just how phuquing powerful YOU are?😍
Oh my gosh Christine. Thank you for the glaring reminder. I know being whiny doesn't help. And you're right we are a powerful bunch. But having the international criminal court taking a peek certainly wouldn't hurt
Goes to confirm the obvious fact that DOGE is merely a “smash and grab” scam to destroy public institutions so that they can be replaced with sub-standard privatized “profit mills”…
Speaking of mills, one wonders just precisely WHEN America was great, and WHEN we stopped being "great." Were we great during the Victorian Era, when Big Business and Progress for the sake of further embiggening those 1% cockturds reigned supreme? Or were we great in the 1950s (hey, at least the tax rate on the 1% was! Maybe we should go back to that part of it, anyway), before all this "civil rights" nonsense reared its ugly head? :-/
Maybe I shouldn't question the vagueness of their definitions; after all, it's how they write state laws, apparently. X-P
One reason to use a funeral director to manage the funeral/memorial/or non-celebration is to make sure you get all the paper work done properly. And at least 10 extra copies of the death certificate. You don't have to have a funeral director present for a service/celebration if the body isn't present, but you probably need someone who knows how to run an event.

Nothing less than expected from people that have no idea what they are doing.
Miscreants making trouble. That's it.
Making trouble? Banal response, Beloved.

God, how lovely of you to resurrect this man!! God is truly good!
No, seriously, we need to deport effing Elon.....and keep the Lebanese doctor.

A shame the Xcrement wasn't sitting in the car at the time. Would have paid to see that. Thank you, God, for the uplift!! Amen! Awomen! Ramen!
Play with fire and you will get burned. Stealing our SS fund is playing with fire and revenge is best served toasted in righteousness.
Oh, Lord, please passeth this onward! The resistance is building--we have learned from thee that we can do this!

That Model 5 crush? Not enough weight.
A cool image, but they had better be careful. They may inadvertently detonate that Smuk piece o' shit
Meanwhile, orangey "won" the golf championship at his club in Florida. Really??
BTW: this is the 6th weekend he flew to Palm Beach to golf in the 8 weeks since he took office.
Track his golf trips here, folks!

DOGE 16 yr old: What?? Ned's NOT dead? Well he should be - that guy is old! And besides Elon said I could have his SS money. It's how we get paid.
wow
