I hope LAOP stays alive. Sometimes the system are all looped, where you fix it in one place but another place still has you dead and then the place where you fixed it thinks you’re dead again.
I guarantee that if the LAOP had been stuck being legally dead when tax filing season rolls around, they would still be expected to file taxes. And successfully doing so wouldn't matter a whit at proving to the benefits office that they were still alive.
Update! I have been legally resurrected after visiting the SSA. It’s going to take time to straighten everything out but I’m just thankful to be alive again! 😆 Thank you all for your help!
location: Dane Co Wisconsin USA. Somehow I have been declared legally dead.
My grandmother was my payee for my SSI, SSDI, & Survivors benefits. She passed away Nov 16th 2025. That is also the date listed for my apparent death. I have lost my income (social security) my health insurance and every benefit I was receiving. How did this happen? No clue…I found out today when I tried refilling my mental health medications and my insurance coverage abruptly ended. Now I am in a financial bind and so many other problems coexist with this but my question is, can I sue for this? Like, this is life altering. If I sue, would a lawyer likely do a contingency case because I have no income & can’t even work if I could because I’m “dead“
Whats the type of lawyer I go to?
How long is this process typically?
How much should a person expect to receive if they won? Thank you and for the love of god I hope this happens to no one else…
“Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss, or Mr. And Mrs. LAOP: Words cannot express the deep personal grief I experienced when your husband, son, father, or brother was killed, wounded, or reported missing in action.”

Christmas isn't even over and BOLA is already putting up the Easter posts
Think LocationBot will be as lucky as LAOP?
Has he/she tried going to the SSA office? (What is Locationbot’s gender, anyway?)
Has to be one of those two. Bots can't be non-binary.

I’ve been declared dead apparently…
Cat fact: cats applaud this enthusiastic amateur.
Hallelujah, a miracle.
Who would you sue? Brings a whole new meaning to "wrongful death"
The US government. Famously easy to sue and win against!
If anyone can work a miracle it's a guy who was resurrected from the dead, amiright?
Shoutout to the person who suggested going in dirty like they dug themselves out the grave. I needed that laugh today. A+, would upvote again.
Doc Daneeka problems strike again!

Whatever happened to that guy who used his legal death to get out of any legal bullshit and debt?
LAOP was taken to a hospital where they were pronounced death. Then they went to a better hospital where their status was updated to alive.
wait so you were legally dead for a bit?? wild.. does that show up in your medical records or something?? like “patient was dead, now better”?
I'm not the OP, I just posted this here.
All that happened to LAOP was an administrative error, their files got marked as deceased when their grandmother died.
