I have a question in regards to a direct deposit of Social Security. My mother passed away March 2, 2004 and her ss check was deposited March 3, 2004. This payment represents February benefits as ss pays one month in arrears. I was advised by my bank they had returned the direct payment to Social Security as it was deposited after her death.
I talked with SS and they said it was her money since it was for February benefits but she would not received any future payments.
As the bank did not have a reclaimation request, is it legal for them to just tap your account and return funds as they see fit??
