For more than 6 years a man cashed his dead mother's social security checks, according to an indictment by a federal grand jury. Aubrey Gorday Jr. allegedly received more than Fifty-nine Thousand Dollars from the government by concealing from the Social Security Administration the fact that his mother died in July of 2001. The US Attorney's Office says he continued to receive that money until September 2007. Gorday is being charged with theft of public money and making false statements. According to a release by the US Attorney's Office in Mobile the theft of public money charges carries a maximum prison term of 10 years, and the false statements charge carries a maximum prison term of 5 years.

This makes me wonder just who was getting the benefit of her Social Security while she was alive.  Surely in this day and age of computers and the availability of information the SSA could have discovered that the Mother was deceased much sooner.  A simple fix would be for all deaths of people 62 and older be routinely reported to the SSA.  This would leave a gap of people receiving disability payments but would close at least one gap.
