    In that case I think “year” means “lunar cycle”. This makes a more natural age (80-something IIRC)

      Maybe, but you don’t know that. You only know the data you have doesn’t make sense. You can’t just make something up and claim it’s correct: you have no way of knowing what the real data is , nor are you an authority

      It’s probably logical to not pay out social security for 900 years, but that’s just an additional business process for handling bad data

      I also have doubts about the correctness of the specific claim, but of course there’s bad data. How could there not be? That doesn’t mean you can claim fraud, it means you can check with the processes that keep money from being sent out where there is bad data.

      I especially had a chuckle from the article where they said 90,000 claims are being sent out for people 100 yr old or more …… yet the claim is that 10 million of those are fraud?
