Reminds me of a case where my company's UAW pension plan was paying out survivor benefits to the wife of a deceased retiree.

We ultimately discovered that the surviving spouse had died and her sister, who she had been living with, failed to report the death and continued to receive and cash the monthly pension benefit.

This had been going on for a number of years and the company had paid out approx. $30,000 to the deceased.........Which by the way were never recovered due to legal issues that would take too long to explain............

I have personal knowledge of 2 cases in which someone was continuing to receive the deceased SS payments. Yes, I reported both, and I think corrections were made, but one can’t be positive.

So how many more cases are out there?
