50. Mom died last day of the month.

Sat Mar 8, 2025, 03:28 PM

Mar 8

SS deposit was made the following day to her bank account. SS clawed back (removed the money from the account) about 5 working days later.

Seems to me there would have to be a really really big screwup if ‘10’s of thousands’ were overpaid without there being some shenanigans.
