In my last post I mentioned my 100 year old aunt who died six months ago. Several days ago I at last received a final check from Social Security. It came after they requested a birth certificate (presumably to prove the person they paid benefits to for 35 years had actually existed) her death certificate ( Yep. She's dead. That's why I'm asking you to stop sending money.) and a marriage certificate (Sorry. She was never married and I have no certificate proving a negative).
Today I received the following letter: (Our government at work!)
"You will soon receive a check for $(amount deleted) because we owed money to (your aunt). Do you think we are wrong? If you disagree with this decision, you have the right to appeal." Blah, blah, blah.
