Dead People Get Stimulus Checks
MyFOXNewYork.com
This week, thousands of people are getting stimulus checks in the mail. The problem is that a lot of them are dead. A Long Island woman was shocked when she checked the mail and received a letter from the U.S. Treasury — but it wasn’t for her.
Antoniette Santopadre of Valley Stream was expecting a $250 stimulus check. But when her son finally opened it, they saw that the check was made out to her father, Romolo Romonini, who died in Italy 34 years ago. He’d been a U.S. citizen when he left for Italy in 1933, but only returned to the United States for a seven-month visit in 1969.
The Santopadres are not alone. The Social Security Administration, which sent out 52 million checks, says that some of those checks mistakenly went to dead people because the agency had no record of their death. That amounts to between 8,000 and 10,000 checks for millions of dollars.
The feds blame a rushed schedule, because all the checks have to be cut by June. The strange thing is, some of the checks were made out to people — like Romonini — who were never even part of the Social Security system.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
What the heck are they using anyway, ACORN files? hahaha sheesh! This is such a typical way that Democrats run things. It should just say…..Stimulus checks for ACORN registered ‘zombie’ democrat voters.
No one could be more deserving. No one in our society is more disadvantaged. The dead suffer, by far, the worst wage and housing discrimination, and have the least access to medical care and education. And not one state permits the dead to marry. Heh heh
Makes you wonder how many dead people are still getting checks.
Well, the dead DO vote Demoncrap. Of course they get their stimulus checks.
Yup, rite off dat ACORN tree. Most o’ dem daid peoples still ‘live are on da gummint payroll in DC, brain daid ‘at is!!!
Sheesh! You know why? All those stolen identities of dead people. Good old Great Aunt Bertha is still alive and is Mexican! I didn’t know that! I thought she was German!
No one keeps this in check.
Especially in Chicago. Mayor Daley the original had dead people vote for him too!
And yet so many Americans want this very same government to run healhcare.
The whole idea of stimulus checks is nuts. The government probably spends again in costs to run the program as it sends out.
The Dems have always had dead people voting for them. The movie “Night of the Living Dead” was based on Democrat primary election day.
Well, I ain’t dead yet but I just got a stimulus check the other day. apparently everyone who is either on VA or SS Disability gets a check. At first I was upset that I’m actually getting something from the Messiah… it made me feel dirty, like he thinks I am a Democrap or worse yet…. A LIBERAL!!! But then I thought hell, I pay taxes, so it’s my money anyway. I’ve decided that in honor of B. Hussein Obama, the half-breed who is responsible for me getting the money, I’m going to use it to buy a 12 gauge pump……. There, I feel better now.
Hey, Obama’s from Chicago and just because your dead and also a democrat doesn’t mean you can’t vote.
Ergo, they get a Stimulus check. It would be something to find out how many of those ‘dead-peoples Checks’ have been cashed. I would be willing to bet at least 70-80 per cent.
BobF., yes i does. They were talking
about it on TV too and said several
people that died a long time ago got
them.
cmblake6, giggle too funny.
Jack, hahahahaa good one.
Lynn,wow that goes back a long way then
with Daley too. Thanks Lynn.
JohnE PFC U.S. Army, yes and that
really scares me. They make a mess
of so many things and to know they
will be doing health care whew wow
I wish it could at least be put
on a ballot if people wanted socialized
medicine or not. I bet it would get
voted down. Especially if it was
presented how it really is and what
it would be like.
Tom, good one.

RAC, exactly!!!!!! Well said RAC!!!
Mark, I bet your right, you know if a
reporter really wanted to do a hit piece
I think they are called. He could do
one about this and really investigate it.
I bet there is a whole racket now for
these checks, stealing them and cashing
them.
He would need protection I guess since
the dems have the Clinton’s on their side
and other not so friendly types that get
even with people.
his rattling skeleton comes walking into the room. then you hear an eery voice screech, “come on, we’re people too, you know. you’re not helping my self-esteem by talking about folks like me as if we cannot hear you from our graves.
we have helped get more politicians elected than you realize. we deserve some reward for it just you get. the money we get will help stimulate the economy as much as the money you get. :)”
The truth is that the Demos decided to pay a long overdue debt to all those under the tombstones who voted for them over the years. After all the “Living Dead Lobby” is a powerful group, far out numbering all other groups in this country.
“And not one state permits the dead to marry.”
LOL Please, Ms. Wild Thing, Don’t give them any ideas!! As whacked out as some of those clowns we have in DC are, they will be trying to pass that as well as folks marring animals next!
Now, what other folks do in their own beds is none of my business and I don’t want to know about it, but when they start shoving it in my face, I am going to scream at them. Guess that makes me NOT PC, oh well..
