I don't see how you are blaming the government for this. Why not just give out the same social security benefit any old time to anyone who asks? That's what you're going to do when you formalize this as a loophole for getting benefits.
When someone is discovered alive, obviously that should automatically reverse their 'death status' - not to mention that they do not forfeit rights as a citizen because they were thought dead.
Instead of even thinking about the legal issues you are making this about your own emotional reaction to what a bad man he is and how bad the government supposedly is.
- aquark 13y agoI don't think I'd characterize it as a loophole per se, since it requires being legally declared dead in the first place. That is a pretty big hurdle to have to jump through!
- rprospero 13y agoAgreed. My father was in the reverse situation, where he spent several months legally alive in the coroner's office. We're still running into issues with agencies refusing to believe that he passed away.
