Exactly, as have Dept heads in nearly every agency Musk has invaded with his trolls

How can someone that has held a job for less than 2 weeks be the cause of years of fraud?
Was she doing a bad job because she was competent? Are you blind and/or stupid?

I don't recall saying that she was the cause of the fraud, Mr. Pitiful.
In what way was she acting competently?

Is that so, Anchovies?
Have you got a list of the other agency heads that have supposedly resigned because they would not turn over "all the personal information" of someone, Anchovies?
I'll understand if you don't, naturally, Anchovies.
Why would you think you were supposed to recall you saying something originally posted by FastLane?
Why would you think someone that is doing a bad job is acting competently?

I didn't, Mr. Pitiful.

vetted by whom?
Diogenes
Nemo me impune lacessit
Nominees are vetted by the house and senate. Musk and the Muskovites have not been vetted yet they have more power than anyone in government. I am sure you do not care about that, but to me it is a terrible wrong.

Althea told me...........
Agree. People pass away and it can take months for the paperwork to catch up.
Nordi, ALL your information is available on the web if someone really wants to find it.

Is that so?
Federal nominees in the United States are primarily vetted by the Senate, not the House of Representatives. Here's how the process generally works:
- Nomination: The President nominates individuals for various federal positions, including judges, cabinet members, and other high-ranking officials.
- Senate Confirmation:
- Committee Review: Nominees are typically referred to the relevant Senate committee for review. For example, judicial nominees go to the Judiciary Committee, while cabinet members might go to committees like Foreign Relations or Armed Services, depending on their role.
- Hearings: The committee holds hearings where nominees are questioned by Senators about their qualifications, background, and stance on relevant issues.
- Vote in Committee: After the hearings, the committee votes on whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate.
- Full Senate Vote: If the committee recommends the nominee positively, or sometimes even if it doesn't, the nomination goes to the full Senate for a vote. A simple majority is generally needed for confirmation, but for Supreme Court justices, a filibuster can be invoked, requiring 60 votes to proceed, although this rule has been changed for lower court judges.
- House of Representatives: The House does not have an official role in vetting or confirming presidential nominees for executive or judicial positions
No DOGE personnel were "nominated".

Or, the facilities continue to collect the payment and don’t report the death. It happens a lot.

If a death isn't reported, yes. That's fraud, if the failure to report was intentional.
Yes, some facilities for the aged collect SS payment of their residents and residents die and these scam homes keep processing payments. They abandon the private facility when their fraud is discovered and payments are never recovered.
Try and understand something. They are above agencies, They have more power than anyone in government. They should be the most closely and severely vetted people in America. This is by any standards wrong. They were deliberately created to escape any scrutiny. It was an evil thing to do and dishonest as hell. It goes against all our history and shows an attempt to avoid the checks and balances that are in the Constitution.
