[Just The News] This week's Golden Horseshoe goes to the Social Security Administration, which paid an estimated $79 million to the deceased in just three states over a 10-year period, according to a final audit report by the agency's Office of Inspector General.

"We estimate SSA issued approximately $79 million in payments after death to 1,127 beneficiaries and four representative payees who died in Alabama, Georgia, or Illinois between January 1978 and December 2018," the report found.

The watchdog identified an additional 53,486 deceased non-beneficiaries in those states whose death information was not in the SSA's Numerical Identification System.

#3 a lot of this is unfortunate but also unintentional

people die and the estate papers don't get done quickly or the heirs are distracted and don't call the SSA quickly or even don't know how to do so

also, this seems to have been over 40 years
