Stop federal agencies from billing debtors' children

The Issue

The Social Security Administration has not stopped hounding people who have never received SSA benefits to repay alleged overpayments made to their deceased parents decades earlier.  And the Education Department similarly hounds the parents or children of people who died while owing student loans.

This is a huge and unjust hardship on innocent people.  Please change the law so that debts to the government are never inheritable.
