My dad died on Oct 31st, 1993. It was expected..he’d been ill for some time..He and my mom had their SS checks directly deposited into their checking account. Back then, all the amounts for the next month went in on the last day of the previous month. ( now it’s spread out) IOW..on Oct 31st, the deposited November’s checks in their accounts. A week later, after the funeral, as life slowly began to return to normal, my mom calls me at the office..nearly hysterical...she’d gone to the bank to cash a check...and discovered they’d reversed my dad’s check on November 3rd...THREE days after he died. How the Treasury could be that efficient still boggles my mind to this day..
When they want to be, they can be magnificently “efficient”, especially when it comes to screwing somebody.
Was told numerous times by the A&F aholes that it was the servicemember’s RESPONSIBILITY to ensure their pay or disbursements were correct, not theirs (A&F) whenever I had to intervene on behalf of one of my troops.
Needless to say, that BS never flew with me...
Bud, they had mother in the online SS death register the same day she died...
