The IRS began distributing $290 billion in direct cash payments within the past week as part of the $2 trillion CARES Act stimulus bill. As part of the plan, IRS is sending checks of up to $1,200 per individual and $2,400 per married couple over the past several days to weather the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. However, the agency directed some of the one-time payments to bank accounts of deceased individuals, USA Today reported this week. Its not immediately clear how many deceased people received the direct deposits. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, said Wednesday a friend texted him to say his father, dead since 2018, had just received his $1,200 in stimulus money, according to MarketWatch. Were aware of all the survivor-related questions and were still working that issue, IRS spokesman Eric Smith said. The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. This isnt the first time the federal government has issued stimulus checks to the dead. More than 71,500 dead Social Security recipients received $250 stimulus payments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, according to a 2010 report from the Social Security Administrations Inspector General. Deceased Social Security recipients got $18 million of the $13 billion set aside for all Social Security recipients in that Obama-era stimulus package. --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:937568812] in IRS sends ...
