Minnesota man learns of his own death through the mail, VA
A Waubun, Minn., man learned of his own "death" after receiving a letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs stating he was dead.
Les Trnka, 67, was listed as dead after he alerted Social Security of a friend's death in March where he gave both his and his deceased friend's social security numbers over the phone.
After calling the VA to clear up the misunderstanding, he was told that to prove his existence he had to visit a local office. After doing so he was reinstated the $103 a month he receives for a hearing loss he suffered while in the service.
