wonder how many dead people in US keep receiving social security checks/direct deposits.

I'll bet more than you even think you know. When we lived back east I heard of a family who's father died and they kept his body in a freezer for several years while still collecting his SS check. I can't remember how it was discovered (and I'm not sure I want to know). Maybe a long term power outage?

Oh, ick.

Wonder why the social security dept doesn’t have a better system for discovering fraud? Perhaps yearly contact w everyone over age 80.
