It's straight out of a Monty Python skit - a Florida Woman who's been told she's dead. Not once, but twice!
FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DATELINE - Tampa. And in this case, the Saga of Florida Woman Michelle McKenney. The news of her death greatly exaggerated, not once, but twice.
Michele McKenney is very much alive, but the state of Florida thinks she's dead and it's causing her a lot of problems, especially when it comes to collecting Social Security benefits for her and her son.
McKenney says the mistake started when her bank told her that someone had called in to report her death. McKenney said she asked the bank if there had been any documentation provided to them to prove that she had died, and they said no. Well, her account was frozen. Her Social Security benefits were returned.
The mistake was corrected.
You figure, okay, except that it happened again about a month later.
McKenney said, "I've gone above and beyond to fix it and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm getting to a point where I'm running out of options and I'm running out of time."
So the bank account frozen, the Social Security benefits suspended, and that's how she takes care of her and her son. She said. "This is ridiculous."
Well, Michele, we would agree. Consumer investigator Shannon Behnken reached out to the bank and Social Security Administration, then both got back to her and promised an escalated investigation. She said the bank would refund the money that they took out of the account pending the investigation.
I don't know. You would think all she has to do is show up at the bank and or Social Security and say, hi, I'm still very much alive.
But then again, it's Florida, man.
