From WFLA:
A Florida woman has been stuck in a bureaucratic nightmare for years since the death of her husband, when the Social Security Administration informed her that she, too, was dead. …
While SSA eventually corrected the error, Mercer’s troubles persisted with other government agencies.
After getting pulled over for speeding, Mercer learned the Department of Motor Vehicles also believed she was dead, with her license showing the officer a “deceased” error. SSA then had to inform the agency that Mercer is still alive.
But her troubles didn’t end there; the Internal Revenue Service also believes she’s dead. First Coast News reported that she hasn’t been able to file her taxes in six years because of the ongoing issue. …
I have to guess that Social Security didn’t properly resurrect this poor woman and has never corrected the mistake but I don’t know the ins and outs of the Death Master File. Can anyone guess what has happened?
