Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder snapped at a reporter at the Democratic National Convention who asked why he did not “properly vet” vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who has been caught in lies about his military record and other things.

The reporter, Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec, posted video of him questioning Holder, who cursed at him and ignored the question, and continued walking away as security personnel tried to interfere with the questioning.

Holder reportedly conducted vetting for Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick, after Democrats forced President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race.

According to the Associated Press, the process — managed by Holder — took 16 days, and ended with Walz being chosen. Since Walz was selected, he has been plagued by lies he told about his military service, forcing the Harris-Walz campaign to address one of them.

Walz claimed he carried weapons “in war” when he never deployed to a combat zone. The campaign later said he “misspoke.”

He falsely claimed he was a “retired command sergeant major,” when he actually retired at a lower rank, at master sergeant.

House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, slammed the European Union's efforts to "silence great Americans like Elon Musk" in a missive launched at EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, reported the New York Post.

Jordan claimed Breton is trying to "weaponize" the law against Musk and said he is prepared to investigate the governing body's attempted "infringement on free speech."

Breton's warned Musk against "amplifying hateful content" in the wake of Musk's conversation with former President Donald Trump broadcast on X.

Jordan accused the politician of pointing fingers at conservatives like Musk and Trump in a political bid to silence their voices.

"In light of your recent threats of reprisal toward X Corp ... for facilitating political discourse in the US, we write to demand that you stop any attempt to intimidate individuals or entities engaged in political speech in the United States," he wrote.

"Here, government bureaucrats may not intimidate, coerce, or threaten individuals engaged in free speech," he wrote.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung weighed in on the missive, slamming the EU for interfering with U.S. politics.

"The European Union should mind their own business instead of trying to meddle in the U.S. presidential election," Cheung said. "Let us be very clear — the European Union is an enemy of free speech and has no authority of any kind to dictate how we campaign."

Jordan said "the silence from the pro-censorship Biden-Harris administration is deafening" on the issue.

"You would think censorship of American speech by foreign governments would be a step too far even for them," his spokesman told the Post.

Improper Social Security Payments Reach $1.1 Billion, Agency Backlog Hits All-Time High (Connecting the Dots: The Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future, The Social Security Administration (SSA) & Soros Funding, All Networking)

The agency placed the blame partly on a shortage of workers and funding.

The backlog of payment actions at the Social Security Administration (SSA) is now at a “record-breaking” level, resulting in the agency making over a billion dollars in improper payments to beneficiaries, according to the SSA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG).

The SSA’s backlog of pending actions hit an “all-time high” of 5.2 million as of February, the OIG said in an Aug. 8 press release, citing an analysis published in June. Pending actions at the agency’s claims processing centers that remain unresolved for a long period of time have resulted in “larger improper payments, including growing underpayments or increasing overpayments to beneficiaries.”

Overpayments put social security beneficiaries under a great burden since the agency will ask them to pay back the overpaid amount at any time. Some recipients may not be in a financial position to repay.

Meanwhile, underpayments mean beneficiaries do not receive their correct monthly payment, which is financially challenging for many recipients.

The delay in resolving pending actions led to the SSA making $1.1 billion worth of improper payments by February, the OIG stated.

“Customer satisfaction has been an ongoing concern for SSA,” said Michelle Anderson, acting Inspector General for SSA. “This report continues to highlight the urgency for SSA to reach its pending actions performance goal and to ensure beneficiaries receive their proper payments as promptly as possible.”

SSA blamed the “record-breaking” backlog on increased workload, staff reductions, and lower-than-expected funding for overtime. Overtime funding could be used to pay workers to resolve more pending actions, thus reducing the backlog, the agency said.

The SSA had reviewed the draft version of the OIG report and sent a response to the watchdog in June. The agency agreed on the need to cut down the processing centers’ pending actions backlog and processing delays. However, this would require “additional resources,” it said in its response.

The SSA pointed out that the agency has “over 650 fewer employees working on processing centers’ workloads now than we did eight years ago, while our beneficiary count has risen from roughly 64 million people to nearly 72 million in that same time period.”

Moreover, the SSA is experiencing staffing challenges with high separation rates in key roles. Without adequate funding, the agency is “left to prioritize growing workloads with our current resources in mind.”

Improper Payment Issue

The OIG pointed out in its report that the SSA failed to reduce its processing center pending actions over the past six years, resulting in the backlog rising from 3.2 million in fiscal year 2018 to 4.6 million last year.

As the backlog kept growing, pending actions remained unresolved for longer periods, the report stated. Of 139 processing centers’ (PC) actions analyzed by the OIG, almost three-fourths were pending for 300 days or more, with 43 percent unresolved for 500 days or longer.

“Once processed, PC pending actions can result in improper payments ... The longer it takes SSA to process PC pending actions, the longer beneficiaries wait for underpayments due or they receive larger overpayments to pay back.”

In one instance, the SSA initially identified an overpaid beneficiary back in June 2021 when the person had received $9,000 in excess money from the agency. However, the SSA only took action to collect overpayments around two years later, in May 2023. During this time, the overpayments continued, with the overpaid amount totaling $62,000.

Even though the beneficiary sought a waiver arguing that the agency was at fault and that the individual could not afford to pay back the money, the person had to agree to make partial payments to resolve the case, the report stated.

For improper payments, the SSA has taken certain actions. In March, the agency announced a new rule easing burdens on overpayment recipients.

Earlier, the SSA would have withheld 100 percent of a beneficiary’s monthly benefits until the overpaid amount was collected.

However, the new rule dismissed this practice. Instead, the agency now collects 10 percent or $10, whichever is greater, of the overpaid amount from the monthly benefits to recover overpayments.

“Social Security is taking a critically important step towards our goal of ensuring our overpayment policies are fair, equitable, and do not unduly harm anyone,” Martin O’Malley, commissioner of Social Security, said at the time.

In February, the SSA proposed a rule for using information from payroll data providers in its calculations. The proposed Payroll Information Exchange is expected to reduce manual reporting errors, which could then reduce improper payments as well, the agency stated.

Can noncitizens receive Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security (SSI)?

https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02447

Lawfully present noncitizens of the United States who meet all eligibility requirements can qualify for Social Security benefits. This rule also applies to noncitizens authorized to work in the United States who got a Social Security number after December 2003. For more information visit our Immigration page.

Noncitizens of the United States must meet certain requirements to continue receiving benefits outside of the United States. We stop payments to noncitizens who do not meet these requirements after they are outside the United States for 6 calendar months in a row. If we stopped your payments, we will not start them again until you return to the United States and remain for a full calendar month. For more information visit our International Programs page.

Some noncitizens may qualify for SSI. However, the SSI eligibility requirements are different from those for Social Security benefits.

For information on SSI go visit our Supplemental Security Income (SSI) For Noncitizens or Spotlight On SSI Benefits For Aliens pages.
