Death Of Rep Payee Causes Huge Problems

From the Louisville Courier-Journal:

Nearly 100 disabled Louisville residents have had their Social Security benefits unexpectedly cut off after a local attorney responsible for managing their finances died last month.

Louis Cohen, 78, was the designated payee for 96 people whom the U.S. Social Security Administration had deemed in need of someone to receive and manage their monthly checks. Their accounts were frozen when he died Nov. 4 from cancer.
