"You're not supposed to keep that payment," Mnuchin told the Journal. "We're checking the databases, but there could be a scenario where we missed something, and yes, the heirs should be returning that money."
The government has sent $160 billion worth of stimulus checks to 89 million Americans as part of a $2 trillion relief package, the Journal reported.
The payments, $1,200 for each adult and $500 for each child, are based on 2018 or 2019 tax filings. Some people who died in 2018 or 2019 received the money based on those returns.
