This will be in court in a heartbeat - the SSA Death index is notoriously unreliable for such a purpose. It was not designed to be.
If current trends continue, people will soon be marching for Rights for dead people.
Wouldn’t it prevent the messiah from voting?
My mom passed almost 3 yrs ago. I called SSA immediately and they took back her check immediately. They asked me to send them a copy of the death cert which I did not do. Couldn’t see any reason to send it since they had already stopped payment on any monies. They probably still have her listed as alive since they did not receive a death cert.
I imagine that happens alot.
