    Default Not dead, just annoyed: Bank tells alive woman she’s dead

    CROFTON, Md. (AP) — A Maryland woman learned of a death in the family through her bank. One problem: that death was supposed to be hers, and yet she was still alive.

    The Capital reports Ellen Baron got home Sept. 20 to learn both her accounts were frozen. The bank told her the Social Security Administration had notified them of her demise.

    The 75-year-old spent around two weeks making appearances at her bank and local Social Security office to offer proof of life. Baron says she got progressively annoyed as she found out her prescription and health care plans were also affected. She notes the error could have had worse ramifications if she were immobile or out of town.

    Baron says the SSA told her a key-in error caused her “death.” SSA spokeswoman Vivian Nichols says erroneous death reports are extremely rare.

    Bet she never got any notice of her voter registration being expired though.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Any idea how many months/years it will take her to convince 'the system' she is alive?

    Meh, if my life insurance rolled it, I might keep quiet about it.
