Treasury Stops $100M in Dead Person Payments | US News
About this episode
The Treasury has halted nearly $100 million in payments intended for deceased individuals through a new verification system.
Treasury just stopped nearly $100 million in federal payments meant for deceased individuals—thanks to a new system that verifies identities and bank details before sending money. These payments were caught before they left the system, and the funds were returned to the agencies that tried to send them. The move is part of a broader effort to prevent fraud and ensure every tax dollar goes to the right person. A key tool? The “Do Not Pay” program, now powered by permanent access to Social Security death records—a major upgrade that’s dramatically improved detection and prevention.
