Although many Americans are worried about their retirement, Social Security Department did not release sufficient funds to Social Security benefits payments, but the department has paid to the dead, tens of millions of benefits.
CNNMoney reports, Social Security Department inspector general in January 2008 based on a sample of the results of the audit estimated to have died of the department mistakenly paid 40.3 million yuan from Social Security, despite the death of these people has been documented in the Department .
A man said his mother died four years ago he took the news to inform the Department of Social Security, Social Security Department, but still sent the mother's monthly Social Security check.
Cleveland's financial adviser Marvin (Dennis Marvin), said some of his customers are very frustrated, because you must take a long time to make the Social Security Department, believe that their families had died, without payment of Social Security.
Marvin said: "Customers are very worried about their retirement, the Department of Social Security payments are rich, they do not believe Social Security system is, while the fuel is that it should send them some benefits, but given the dead. "
Typically, the host family of the deceased or the funeral will report their date of death of Social Security Department, Social Security Department put the deceased's Social Security number, date of birth and death dates, etc., enter the deceased's archives.The archives already has 8700 million deaths data.
If you do not report the death to the government and continue to receive Social Security income, may be charged with fraud, and falsely claimed to be the return of Social Security.For example, residents of San Diego, California, prosecutors accused China Shen Boen, in his mother's death 15 years, falsely claimed more than 30 million Social Security.His mother buried in the backyard, not to Social Security Department to report on her death.Hua Shi Boen has pleaded guilty.
