I don't understand. How does this save taxpayer dollars? If a check is written out to a dead person and it doesn't get cashed, then that money is still there.
If it is cashed fraudulently by someone else then THAT should be the headline- they would be pretty easy to track down.
One would think. Direct deposit into a joint account is how it’s done. They can legally claw back those overpayments. I’ve seen it happen. Haven’t seen prosecutions though but I’d welcome them.
