Incorrect IDD payments after death occur due to the following:
-
1.
The death report may arrive after issuance of an IDD payment, or after the cutoff
for the monthly payment file; or
-
2.
A systems limitation may prevent automated termination when transmission of a death
report occurs or a payment returns for reason of death.
NOTE: If your component receives a report of the death of a beneficiary who received direct
deposit to an FI outside the U.S., follow the instructions in GN 02402.230. This section also explains systems limitations that affect death terminations for
beneficiaries living outside the U.S.
