Naturally, this was an opportunity for Doge to identify this waste of taxpayer dollars. Doge found payments to illegal immigrants using multiple Social Security numbers to submit Medicare claims, something for which they are not legally entitled. They found $57,000 in Medicare payments in 2020 for a patient who actually was recorded to have died 14 years earlier. So amazing you can continue to charge for Medicare payments 14 years after your death. In one particularly egregious instance, an illegal immigrant with a warrant out for her arrest was receiving more than $100,000 in loans from the Small Business Administration. (04:09–04:22)
