In a big win for Americans who are sick and tired of seeing immoral fraudsters drain the American taxpayer and steal billions upon billions of dollars every year, a new bill that would toughen up the system and help ensure that payments don’t go to dead people, has passed in the national legislature. Sen. Kennedy (R-LA), who introduced the bill, celebrated in a video in which he explained why it is so important.
For reference, the bill is the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act. In mid-January of 2026, it finally passed in both the House after having passed in the Senate, and headed to President Trump’s desk to sign. The bill ensures that all deceased people are recorded by the Social Security Administration in a “Death Master File” that gets updated in the Treasury Department’s “Do Not Pay” system, ensuring that the deceased are off the government payment rolls and can’t be used by living fraudsters to drain the government of tax dollars.
