Oldest US Citizen Dies at 114 years old, then why 6.5 million saying their 112 yo and still collecting Social Security, a $110B/year waste of taxpayer money

FLEMINGTON, N.J. –  A New Jersey woman who was the oldest American person has died at age 114.

Adele Dunlap died Sunday at a hospital near Flemington, according to the Martin Funeral Home.

She had become the country's oldest person in July 2016 following the death of 113-year-old Goldie Michelson, of Worcester, Massachusetts.

A group that tracks long-living people says the oldest known person living in the U.S. is now 113-year-old Delphine Gibson, of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.

Dunlap didn't have an explanation for her longevity, and neither did her children. Asked at the time how it felt to be the oldest American, Dunlap said "I don't feel any different."

Dunlap was born Dec. 12, 1902, in Newark, though family and caregivers said she often gave a younger age when asked how old she was.
