Bill overview
This bill, the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act, aims to prevent government payments from being sent to individuals who have passed away. It permanently allows the Department of the Treasury to access death records maintained by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to identify and stop these incorrect payments. The bill strengthens coordination between federal and state agencies and the ‘Do Not Pay’ system, which is used to prevent payments to deceased individuals. This will help ensure taxpayer dollars are used appropriately.
