Ohio Resident Killed by Social Security

Wed, 03/01/2000 - 1:00am — Karen Stevenson
Description: 

An Ohio resident has been trying to convince the government he's still alive. He was declared dead in the Social Security records on August 16. After that, the Social Security Administration took more than $2,600 from his bank accounts to recoup payments made after his "death", and Medicare declined coverage to in January because computer records showed he was deceased. He had to meet a Social Security employee in person and show photo identification to prove he was still alive, although the agency apparently didn't need a death certificate to declare him dead!
