Three days after my mother passed away, she got her social security direct deposit. One day later, they too it back. Imagine if the government was half that efficient about tracking down illegal aliens.
I asked if she got social security within a week of signing up. No, I was told, she had to wait a month. Then why, I asked, did they take back a payment which was for the previous month.
I was similarly shocked after my mom passed and I called the SSA to tell them about her death. They reached into her bank account and took back the check that had been issued after she died.
Children are not responsible for the debt of deceased parents.
If Social Security came to me with such a demand, I’d tell them to stuff it.
Its indecent and beyond reprehensible. There is a statute of limitation on private debt.
But the law and common sense doesn’t apply to Social Security it seems.
I closed my father’s bank accounts when he died, assumed his assets and instructed Social Security to stop further payments to the bank.
I did my duty in protecting the taxpayers and my family’s good name.
If you are a tax paying American, you MUST make sure that when you file your taxes you owe just enough so that you will never receive a refund.
It is getting to be the point where most people should think about converting a good part of their financial assets to deposit in the First National Bank of Simmons Mattress Company.
Did you remember that SS pays at least one month in arrears? I.e., they owed him (his estate) a check after he passed....
That’s correct, there’s a waiting month to collect S.S. and when you die, your estate has to pay back, if you’ve received a check that month.
But they do send you a death benefit of $255.
Laws don’t matter to them, or the IRS. They attach the money and you can’t get it unless you sue them or get a Congressman/Senator involved.
The best process is to not let them have access to your funds in the first place, or make it difficult for their functionaries to find it.
Just one more reason why some guy who swims across the Rio Grande from Mexico and spends his entire lifetime here in the U.S. working for cash is going to be remembered as the last free man in America.
How did the SS determine who to go after? The Democrats learned how to use computers to punish their political enemies. I would look real hard at how they chose people to go after. Did they go after people in the inner city? I don’t trust our government to try and be fair anymore.
400K recipients, divided into $75 million? A whopping $187.50 each!
“If Social Security came to me with such a demand, I’d tell them to stuff it.”
They don’t come to you. They don’t warn you. They just take.
The ACA as originally written (I read dozens of pages) had access to your bank accounts and would sign you up automatically and deduct the payments without your input. That didn’t make the final cut, but the intent was there.
A friend’s bank told her they could not guarantee that they would ignore a demand from her insurance which she had attempted to cancel. She not only had to close her account but also change banks.
Can someone explain what this payment is?
“Another reason why tax deductions should always be taken so you either owe very little or are due very little in refund. I plan mine so I’m within $200 either way.”
I do the same! I wish others would, as well. We could STARVE THE BEAST...though I’m 100% positive they’d find another way to shank us!
“If you are a tax paying American, you MUST make sure that when you file your taxes you owe just enough so that you will never receive a refund.”
BUMP!
The Last Free Man! A point I never considered. More truth than many will admit.
Insofar as SS and IRS go, the phrase “root & branch” comes to mind with those “just following orders” someday being accountable,
They don’t even do that unless you are a surviving spouse or dependent. I was merely a taxpaying son so got nada.
