You're probably not going to like this either...tens of millions of people OVER the age of 100, thousands over 200 years old and some into their 300's still receiving SS benefits. Another curious thing to me, why is the age group 30-39 by far the highest users of SS benefits? Not suggesting something nefarious necessarily, just an odd (young) age to be the highest user IMO.

Maybe? But you'd think that would carry forward to the next age bracket as well. Could be military discharge inflating those numbers too maybe? Just an interesting data point I'd love to know more about.
