I agree but his check was marked DECEASED. DECEASED are not supposed to get checks. It's not like he passed away a month or 2 ago and the gov't records updates were still in limbo it's been close to 2.5 YEARS.

Edit: Can you imagine the financial loss if every deceased person who died sometime in 2018 (had a 2018 tax form filed) got a $1200 check? It seems likely that is what could have happened because it makes no sense they just randomly in error chose him.
