Even though the penalties that are noted in SSA regulations are "scary" and they do include the possibility of incarceration in a federal facility, it seldom happens in cases of misunderstanding. The problem is how exactly was the person entitled or receiving the supplemental benefits? Were the benefits belong to the deceased or the deceased's dependant children? Was the SSA notified of the death of the beneficiary? All these factors and possibly others directly affect what if any action the SSA will take in regards to the issue.
