BETTER MAKE SURE YOU’RE REALLY ENTITLED TO THOSE SURVIVOR BENEFITS, KIDS

Only a federal government agency would try to recover, apparently with interest, benefits it paid to the children of a man who was declared dead but later turned out to be alive.  We’re talking about benefits that were applied for by the mother of the children and paid when the children were under 18 (they’re adults now).  
The government agency did eventually give up on trying to collect from the un-dead man’s children, and decided to try to collect from him instead.  
I got this information from a news item on the web site of The Courier of northwestern Ohio.  Hat tip to Lowering the Bar (yes, I’m back to trawling Lowering the Bar for blog post material).
