“STIMULUS CHECKS SENT TO DEAD PEOPLE”
“The combined total of the mistaken payments is $22.3 million. Another 17,000 payments went to recipients who were in prison at the time the payment was made in May 2009.
The SSA says that the stimulus package didn’t include a provision allowing it to try to retrieve funds that were mistakenly sent out, so it can’t try to retrieve the rest of the money.
Money transferred electronically may be sitting untouched in bank accounts of dead people.”

The Feds have the ability to reverse the deposit and get the money back . . . so what is stopping them?
