The Social Security Administration (SSA) has undertaken its largest-ever cleanup of Social Security Numbers (SSNs), correcting nearly 15% of all active U.S. citizen SSNs. The changes include adding 17 million missing dates of death, updating 25 million records with missing citizenship information, and correcting an additional 8.5 million records with inaccurate citizenship data. This initiative aims to prevent fraud across federal programs and support the proper administration of benefits.
