Video: Retired Colorado Letter Carrier fights to prove he’s not dead to receive pension

LITTLETON – Jim Clarkson has spent the last six weeks trying to prove to Washington D.C. based bureaucrats he’s not dead.

The 75-year-old’s deceased status caused him to lose his pension and some of his medical benefits.

“I haven’t received the January, February or the March [pensions],” Clarkson said. “That’s three months pension that I haven’t received.”

The 30-year veteran of the U.S. Postal Service has been retired for a while and has been drawing a pension paid by the Office of Personnel Management. He also has health benefits provided by the National Association of Letter Carriers.

  1. Nobody in Washington, D.C. understands “simple”. After my dad died, the Social Security Administration sent me letters about his account instead of sending them to my mom, his surviving spouse. I am a Jr. (same name) but our SSN’s were totally different and I lived in another state, still alive, working and paying Soc. Sec. taxes. Go figure!

  2. Somewhere in the bowels of DC is a bureaucrat making $250,000 a year and can’t figure out this “dead” man is complaining about not being dead.
    This is no joke. When the machine says you dead…you dead.
