Social Security mistakenly declares 82-year-old man dead, causing loss of benefits and Medicare.
Seattle resident Ned Johnson, 82, was mistakenly declared dead by the Social Security Administration, leading to the loss of his benefits, Medicare coverage, and access to his bank funds.
His wife discovered the error after receiving a condolence letter from their bank, revealing that his December and January benefits totaling $5,201 were reclaimed.
The mistake also canceled his February and March payments, ended his Medicare coverage, and flagged his credit score as belonging to a deceased person, making it difficult to obtain new credit.
Johnson and his wife have struggled to correct the error, navigating a complex bureaucratic process.
