Over A Million Dead People Were Mailed Stimulus Checks More than a million dead people were mailed federal stimulus checks earlier this year, according to a federal watchdog agency.
A report from the Government Accountability Office says the IRS did not use government death records when distributing payments, leading to $1.4 billion in checks going to the deceased, which the IRS says must be returned.
Earlier this week, the White House indicated that another round of stimulus payments may be on the way.
How is the IRS going to get dead people to return the checks? What did you spend your stimulus check on?
