WILMINGTON, Del. — A city has been paying spousal benefits to a dead woman for 20 years. The News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware, reported Saturday that the city deposited nearly $73,000 into the account of the unnamed woman. The city relies on third-party vendors to cross-check pensioner information with death records and Social Security data. But Jones-Potter said this woman’s death was not documented in Social Security records.
