According to a recently released report by the Social Security Administration’s inspector general, nearly 72,000 dead people received stimulus payments of $250 each. Another 17,000 went to people incarcerated and not eligible for payments.
The total for the payments issued to deceased individuals is nearly $18 million. Only about half of the payments were returned.
The stimulus payments were issued last year as part of a large economic recovery package designed to juice consumer spending and in turn give the economy some stimulation. In total, about $13 billion was issued in the form of $250 payments to 52 million people.
