tell the dumb azzes that they better start sending him his social security checks again then...Makes me think of the scene in our high school production of “You Can’t Take it With You” where Grandpa Vanderhoff convinces the IRS that he’s dead.
Ask them if they’re still sending him checks, and if they aren’t, why not.
My question would be, where have they been sending his Social Security checks all this time?

Hmmm...
Sounds like Guinness Book of World Records is calling
Does he come up in the social security death index? If so, how is it they have not confirmation of death?
Is it possible that your ancestor was never in the system to begin with? I kinda doubt all the people who were senior citizens in the thirties jumped to get into SS. In fact, there were probably more than a few who considered it an affront.
Turn the tables on them. Say that because you are unable to proof that he died, they owe his family 75 years of back Social Security payments plus interest.
I’m sure they’ll provide you proof he is dead rather quickly. That, or some dumb bureaucrat will send you a check.
AH, some government workers do have a problem with numbers. My husband used to have to call one of them frequently and she was always out, at lunch, at a meeting, or on leave. Her secretary was such a dim bulb that when he gave his phone number he said he was afraid she’d ask him how to make an 8.
Adventures from your family tree ping.
I’m so glad such highly intelligent folks wish to run our healthcare system....
Did he even receive any benefits?
SS didn’t start collecting until January 1937 and the first payout started January 1940.
Then he can still vote if the SSA thinks he’s alive.

Go ahead and follow through with the death certificate. The SocSec application will contain a lot more genealogical data than the death certificate. You already paid your money so for the price of a photocopy of the DC and a stamp, why not? Plus it will be good practice for trying to get healthcare under the coming Obamacare bureaucracy.
Demand that all the back payments be made if he is not dead...according to them! ROFLOL!!
That’s not the SSN Obama is currently using is it?
