This seems to amount to an attempt to change someone's legal status by manipulating the SSA database:
The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security’s “death master file,” which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

Him and his cronies will begin debanking and revoking benefits from anyone that does the same now (lets be real: they have already started, we just aren't hearing about it).
