What is your thoughts on being an employee seeing a obituary fitting the following and returning government ACH payments?
Notification of death by any source constitutes notification for all Federal benefit payments received by the recipient. The following are some examples of ways that the RDFI may learn of the death of their account holders:
• Receipt of a Death Notification Entry (DNE) - A DNE is a notification of a benefit recipients death sent from an originating government agency [e.g., SSA, RRB, or OPM] to the RDFI.
• Receipt of a federal government Notice of Reclamation, (Fiscal Service-133).
• Any contact or request to withdraw funds from an Estate, Executor, Administrator, Public Administrator, Personal Representative, Conservator or other representative of such Estate. Note: Any release to an executor or other party clearly acting on behalf of the deceased person or his/her estate will be deemed by the government to have demonstrated the RDFI’s knowledge of the death.
• A pertinent reference to or from a Probate Court, a funeral home, or Letters Testamentary. Any oral or written report of death.
• Any death information obtained by the RDFI’s inquiry into a dormant account, or through other RDFI internal screening processes.
• Any personal awareness of the death by the RDFI’s staff.
• Any notice received in the mail from any source.
