Maybe they can spend part of those checks in their neighborhood restaurants (where they are now), as I understand they all remained open.

“Turns out getting free stuff is too attractive.”

The Democrat bribe money is not free stuff, it is money stolen from future generations.

Another government giveaway, another couple billion lost to corruption. The usual grifters were first in line ... and second ... and third ... I’m sure.

Did anybody ask why his deceased Grandmother still has an active bank account?

Could be the estate hasn't been probated yet.

Why is a bank account open two years after her death? Usually banks freeze them within minutes of hearing of the death. I remember my dad racing my grandfather to the bank when my grandmother died in the 1970s,

My Dad passed away on December 22nd, 2018...Mom filed her 2018 taxes as “Married - Joint” as she is supposed to. (She hasn’t filed her 2019 “Single” taxes yet). Her “helicopter $$” direct deposit came today for $2400., I told her to keep $1200. “in reserve” in case of a “claw-back” on her 2020 return.
But since the Feds decided to use the 2018 filing status, and my Dad was alive for about 99% of 2018, I think a “claw-back” would be kinda low class...the Feds made the “2018 return” decision they should probably stick to it. They could have said “no payment until you file your 2019 return”, but didn’t do that.

How could the government not check to see who was deceased before sending out this money? They had better do so now and claw it all back. Anyone who spends it should be charged with fraud.

Somebody’s probably getting her social security benefit too.
No reason to think this is not widespread too.

Funding for the (D) candidates this way is only appropriate since they will be getting her vote.

The money was intended for your dad to spend. Is he going to be able to do that?

My mom’s estate took seven years to process. It was hell.

Sounds like it!

Heirs could not agree or just complicated?

Nope, but my Mom could spend it if you are looking for an “economic boost”.
But if it is for “virus hardship expenses” then they should probably do a “claw-back” of the money. But the point is the Feds made a call that had consequences (all the married people who died in 2018) and they should have known the consequences and dealt with them in advance.

See Bleak House. First paragraph.

Just for the record, you mean the first paragraph of Dickens' preface, NOT the first graph of the book proper which is spent describing a scene of mud and fog, which also sets the book up very well.

Frankly, your sister should keep the check. At this point in time $1200 is $1200.
