I’d bet 99% of those deceased individuals are receiving benefits to an account that hasn’t been accessed since they died. Meaning the government just never processed the death notification to stop the benefits.
So not actually fraud, just beureaucratic incompetence inherent to these overly complex systems that would be solved by things like UBI or other real social safety nets instead of having a million qualifiers for access.

More likely the recipient died and it got processed for a couple weeks until it was processed, then the GOP misrepresents it.
