The dead are no longer cashing their city pension checks.
Comptroller John Liu is reporting that his auditors didn’t find a single case last year where a retirement check was cashed after the beneficiary had died.
“Nothing came to our attention that would suggest that controls are not working as intended,” Liu notified the five pension boards.
In a previous audit, the comptroller unearthed 14 instances where $459,970 worth of checks of the departed had somehow either been deposited or cashed between 2007 and 2009.
Based on Liu’s recommendations, the pension systems are now conducting more intensive computer matches to root out fraud.
Officials said a pension rip-off that spanned a decade, as disclosed by The Post last month, went undetected for so long because the teacher whose checks were misappropriated died in Puerto Rico and her death wasn’t reported until recently.
