Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. DOGE wrote me a letter this month. They want money back from him.

He had schizophrenia and was sometimes homeless. In his later years I was able to help him stay housed, and he received $180 of SSI monthly which went toward his rent in assisted living in a low-income bed.

But DOGE has realized that they overpaid him. So they sent a letter warning that some of that money may need to be returned.

The thing is, my dad is dead.

Old photo of my dad, brother and me on a beach. My dad is standing slim and tall, looking out at the water. He's wearing sunglasses and holding a small beach bucket and standing on a low rock to keep his sneakers dry. My brother age 4 and me age 2 are playing with wet sand in the shallow tide. In the background is the coastline stretching back and curving around to the right with sand, rocks and trees. The photo was likely taken in Maine.

My dad died in September 2022 with $400 to his name, which was used to pay for his cremation. I scattered his ashes in the ocean because we had fun at the beach when I was little.

To DOGE: it's not that a dead man is trying to get money from you, it's that YOU ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY FROM A DEAD MAN.

And to my dad: Happy Birthday Dad, love you, miss you
