Stimulus Checks to Dead People

Stimulus checks have started to arrive in the mail, and some folks have been shocked to find that the check in their mailbox is actually addressed to a relative long dead, according to MyFoxNewYork and Drudge Report.
A Valley Stream woman asked her son to open what she thought was a check for herself, but instead was a check made out to her father, a US citizen, who died in Italy 34 years before.
The Social Security Administration explained that some of the 52 million checks were mailed to dead people because the agency has no record of those deaths.
