Stimulas Money For Deceased DH, Got Answer.

I was sent, via direct deposit, $1200 for my DH who died in May of 2019. I called our Senator's office and they said they would let me what to do when the IRS told them.

The young man just called and is emailing the address where to return it.

I knew it had to go back but things are so screwy right now I wanted an exact address and instructions so there was no question later when things calm down.

It took a few weeks but by darn they did call me back.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 You handled this well and I’m sorry for the loss of your husband.

I would photograph everything and send it certified with return receipt and hopefully you won't end up with some 'we didn't get it' issue down the road.

Thanks for advising the rest of us. I know there are others for whom this debaucle also applies.

I like what @Lipstickdiva @said....Write VOID on the check before you mail it.

@CrazyKittyLvr2, I think we started our threads at the same time. Great minds think alike. LOL

@Lipstickdiva Lol. I don't know about my "great mind". Some days I need a T-shirt with the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz saying "if I only had a brain".

Have a good evening.

Never send your only copy of anything to anyone. I worked for the Federal government for 30 years and learned this rule in my first week of training. Or, as the saying goes, CYA.
