Stimulus Check Returned or Now Part of Estate?

My mother's Economic Stimulus payment arrived via ACH, but her bank won't credit her account because she died in April. Is she entitled to have this check credited to her account, or does it need to be returned to the government?

Untitled

The bank is correct to return the payment to the Treasury, indicating that your mother died.
