part of the problem is mcdonalds are franchises. so a fry worker or burger flipper doesn't work for mcdonalds, but works for a usually small business that owns one or a few stores. since this has been going on for decades now it's thousands of possible employers to sift, likely some of which are gone.  the irs should have any records og ssi eligible earnings for 30 years but that might have slipped by too.  still i don't believe her. but it's going to be impossible to confirm/deny at this point
