Husband/Dad passed in June 2019, leaving wife and 2 minor children. Kids are each receiving SS survivor benefits.
Wife received correct EIP payments: 3,400, 1,800 and 4,200.
However, each kid received 1,200, 600, and 1,400 direct deposited to the account where their SS goes. I'm guessing there was some kind of program saying if someone receives SS and does not file 1040, send them EIP, disregarding the fact they are minors.
I'm also guessing this is big enough that when they figure it out they may try to claw back EIP from SS benefits???
I'm telling Mom to just hold on to the money for now. Agree??
