WOI: Sen. Ernst Responds to Recent Audit of Social Security Administration

"A recent audit from the Inspector General showed the Social Security Administration had 6.5 million Social Security Numbers of people who were 112 years old or older because there was no death information on those them. it's a problem Iowa senator Joni Ernst wants them to clean up. ERNST: the communications process whether its done electronically, a phone in, push button, whatever way, we need to solve this issue. we can't continue to allow SSN's to hang out there, when there's not an actual american citizen attached to that number. JACK: Senator Joni Ernst stopped by our studio today, Ernst has been making her way through Iowa on her 99 county tour." (WOI-TV, 4/2/15)
