The Department of Economic and Community Development, or DECD, disagrees with the auditors’ findings, according to an agency response included in the auditors’ report.

Glendowlyn Thames, the deputy commissioner of the DECD, said the state also saw a 9% increase in new business startups last year.

But next to Duprey’s name were the letters “DECD,” indicating the IRS knew she was deceased.

Ms. Phillips received a signed letter from President Trump in April notifying her of the payment with the letters “Decd” next to her mother’s name to indicate that she was dead.

The notation DECD, for “deceased,” was included after the person’s name on the check.
