Is it legal for the Dept. of Social Services to demand payment on the basis that the deceased person was receiving public assistance? What can be done about it?
Why do you care if SS wants money from some dead guy.
Because I am his heir
Is it possible this is medicaid/medicare that is trying to get these funds, and not SSI. Before medicaid/medicare provides things like private nursing or a nursing home, any individuals personal assets need to be exhausted. The only way for this not to happen for instance is for property to be transferred 5 years prior to receiving these services.
To me this sounds like a claw back for the personal aid, which is expected.
