The thing is, the October payment should have been for September. They actually pay a month behind.
“My MIL died on October 31st. We were astonished how fast the SS office went in and removed her October SS payment from her checking account. Even though she had lived that entire month.”
Are you sure you remember correctly?
“They actually pay a month behind.”
Yeah, I know that.
She definitely died on October 31st.
And she definitely had the payment she received in October clawed back. My BIL showed us the information as he was executor.
