Good news for some now that the first round of Stimulus check are rolling in, however, not everyone is so lucky.
A woman in Los Angeles for example said she received a message that read “payment status not available” from the IRS. Others are facing different problems such as funds being sent to wrong bank account.
Mark Pappas situation is a bit different, he did received a Stimulus check but not for himself ... for his mother 'Carmella' who passed away in 2018.
As reported by NBC4LosAngeles.com:
“How can this money be deposited into the account of a deceased person?” he said.
The IRS can’t answer that question either. But financial experts said Carmella is likely one of thousands of deceased taxpayers who will get checks.
“If the person was alive and earned income in the years in question, 2019 or 2018, and they qualified based on the income limits, then the system will send out a check, and the estate and or surviving spouse should be able to keep that check,” financial expert Brian Levy.
It’s something that doesn’t sit right with Pappas.
“I don’t feel right about keeping the money. Not at all. I mean there’s other people who need the money,” Pappas said.
