The Social Security Administration sent a $250 “stimulus” check to Mrs. Rose Hagner
The check was sent to the home of her son 83-year-old James Hagner. Mr. Hagner said, “I don’t even expect to get one for myself, and I get one for my mother." Only problem is Mrs. Hagner died on Memorial Day, 1967.
You may thinking there is a reasonable explanation for why the government sent a check to a woman who has been dead for over 40 years, AND it is probably a glitch in their system and doesn’t happen very often.
Well, Social Security representatives said there is a good explanation. Of thealmost 52 million checks mailed out, about 10,000 of those have been sent to people who are deceased. The agency blames the error on the strict mid-June deadline of mailing out all of the checks, which didn’t leave officials much time to clean up all of their records. Gee, they only had 43 years!
And this is who you want running YOUR health care?
