I believe SS has to be direct deposit now. and NYS might be too.

But no suggestion yet that he was accessing the bank accounts and spending the money?
Could be that this guy isn't really operating with a full deck and didn't want to spend the money to bury them.
For a while my dad kept saying when he died he wanted to be put out with the trash because he thought funerals were a waste of time.
After listening to this a few times (which was clearly getting his GF upset) I finally said that it was illegal and since he would be dead his GF and I would decide what we wanted and he wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.
People are strange!

People are strange! Word on the street is that he was. And he wouldn't have to pay. They had $1000 a month income and were on Medicaid. Social Services would have paid for the funeral.
Direct deposit and debit card is how you access the account.

Then wow. He'll be in jail for the rest of his life over $1000/mo and living free in a mobile home.
I'm thinking going to a job is so much easier

He may have also been afraid of being kicked out of the home. I really hope he didn't kill them though!
People do do strange things when people they care about die.

If it were just one person buried in the yard, I might believe that the guy is just scum. He wouldn't be the first person to not report a natural death in order to collect the deceased person's benefits, and he won't be the last.
But there are two people buried in the yard. That makes it much more unlikely that these were natural deaths.

I am still going to be a pollyanna until it all comes out. Maybe they had DD and most of the bills were on auto pay directly from the account? Then the money would have gone out of the account without him taking anything. Although I guess if he has absolutely no income he must have gotten money somewhere to pay for food.

How is this guy related to the dead couple? If he's not related in any way - say the couple were predisposed to "help the poor" maybe they invited this guy in to their home to help him... Old people don't always make the best decisions. If he is related then it's just a sad story about a family.

A guy in a town nearby me kept his dead mother in the freezer for several years before it was discovered. I don't remember the details of how they found her, but son wasn't all there. Had some mental deficiencies which is why he was still living with Mom in his 40's. He didn't kill her, she died of natural causes, but I guess he was afraid of being kicked out of the house.

So the couple in their 80s were on welfare?
I don't understand the use of the term stating investigation into Welfare Fraud. SS Fraud maybe?

Medicaid, food stamps, and HEAP.
They hadnt made a Medicaid claim in 18 months but they were still getting other help for social services.
