Stimulus Checks Sent to Deceased People Neither my sister nor I collect Social Security. Nevertheless, she received a check in the mail made out to my deceased mother, and it says “DECD” for her stimulus check of $1,200. Not exactly sure what to do with this check. How would we cash it? This is really confusing. It will probably cost $1,000 for legal advice to figure out if the check should be cashed or if they would call it fraud because we knew she was deceased, even though it is made out to her as deceased. Sort of a trick question with consequences. view the check here: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/govt-incompetence/stimulus-checks-being-sent-to-deceased-people/
