What does Martin O'Malley say about the claims of Social Security fraud such as 'zombies' or dead Americans receiving benefits?

According to former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley, claims about 'zombies getting checks' or '200 million dead Americans getting checks' are completely false. He dismisses these allegations as 'total horse hockey' and emphatically states they are 'not true.' While firmly debunking these fraudulent payment myths, O'Malley expresses genuine concern that such misinformation could be used to undermine the agency. He warns that the real threat is those who 'can crater this agency' through staffing cuts or other measures based on these false narratives.
