[WSBARP] Stimulus for the departed

Tue Apr 28 09:54:53 PDT 2020

Ron and all,

So I have an interesting one. IRS sends the check made payable to Joe Blow,
deceased and to the PR by name. It was mailed to PR’s address. Seems like
the IRS obviously knew he was deceased from my client setting up an estate
TIN but no one is checking to make sure no checks are sent to a deceased
person. My plan is to return to IRS in Ogden unless someone has better
advice.

Sincerely,

Tom

Same thing that was done with soc sec checks that arrived after the
recipient had died (back when checks were not all direct deposit):  send
them to the local soc sec office advising that the recipient is deceased.
Keep a record of doing so.  If the funds were received by direct deposit, I
would merely contact local office (when they get back to work) and ask for
instructions.

Anyone else receiving these checks for deceased persons?  And I’m referring
to folks who passed even in 2018….

What do we do with it?

Thanks!

*Notice - Attorneys and Staff Are Working Remotely Due to COVID-19*

As we face the quickly changing circumstances presented by COVID-19, our
top priority is the health and safety of our employees, clients, colleagues
and friends, and all of their families and communities.

In order to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus while still serving our
clients, our attorneys and staff are working remotely. We can make and
receive telephone calls; access all of our documents and servers; send and
receive faxes; and access emails and voicemails.

We have limited onsite staff to maintain critical functions, including
accounting and processing of inbound and outbound postal mail. The lobby is
closed but there is a drop box by the front door for documents.

Attorney/client meetings will be handled by teleconference where able, and
signing documents will be handled case-by-case. Most courts have postponed
trials and hearings, or are moving them to telephonic proceedings only. We
are keeping up to date on those court closures and changes, and will advise
each client.

We will continue to monitor the situation and recommendations from the CDC,
state and local health departments, and government directives. Be assured
that we will continue to advise and support our clients throughout this
health emergency.
