Please, Tell Me That This Was Not Obvious to the SSA

Rep. Russ Fulcher's newsletter tells me:

The Treasury issued ~$1.4 Billion in Economic Impact Payments  to deceased people, citing lack of access to Social Security’s deceased records. I’m joining Rep. John Curtis’s common-sense bill requiring the Treasury to review the Social Security Death Master File before dispersing payments. 

I know: if they were not receiving those checks, they would not rise from the grave to vote in Chicago.
