If Rachel Maddow says it has been debunked, CBJ7 believes it.

proof, not from Maddow
The information comes from the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File, which contains deaths after 1936 and which is not available online. Under the Freedom of Information Act, the SSA is required to disclose a Public Death Master File, but that one doesn’t include all deaths. Some genealogy sites allow searches of this death index, but many of them, such as Ancestry.com, have put access to Social Security numbers behind a pay wall to help prevent identity theft.
You can search the death index for free at Family Search (tinyurl.com/bjom3d). You will find Ludwig listed there.
The email says that the SSA was never informed of Ludwig’s death. And it states that Obama has been illegally using the SSN assigned to Ludwig, 042-68-4425.
But the death index shows that the SSA was informed of Ludwig’s death. The Jean Paul Ludwig referred to in the email — born in 1890, lived in Connecticut, died in Hawaii — looks to be the same one listed in the database (born on Feb. 17, 1890; SSN issued in Connecticut; death benefits issued in Hawaii).
But the Social Security number listed for Ludwig is 045-26-8722, not 042-68-4425.
glad I could help
