The IRS sent stimulus checks to 1M dead
- jermaustin1 6y agoOver 1 million dead people have gotten their stimulus checks, and my wife an I still haven't received ours. If the IRS sends out checks pretty much every year relatively flawlessly, how did this get bungled so badly?
- hindsightbias 6y agoLots of reasons. One common example, gov't assumes you're alive until the SSA says so. People file decedant returns to the IRS all the time for refunds/status and nothing happens until you notify SSA.
