The Internal Revenue Services (IRS) has been depositing $290 billion in direct cash to the accounts of the dead people. This step comes ahead within the past week as part of the $2 trillion CARES Act stimulus bill. 

As per the past data records, this is not the first time the federal government has issued stimulus checks to the dead people. According to a 2010 report from the Social Security Administration’s Inspector General, more than 71,500 dead Social Security recipients received $250 stimulus payments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
