I got a letter from the IRS addressed to



<decedent's name> DECD % <my name>
<My address>

Funny, my wife and I got our money, direct deposit, and that letter about 10 days later. My (deceased) Mother In Law, got the physical check, dated 5/1/20, but no letter yet.

The letter must be sent within 15 days of the payment.

My letter arrived in the mail 15 days after the direct deposit.
