Different scenario.
A lady friend was in the hospital and she was told it would probably be about a two week stay for her. She called me and asked me to come up and get her social security check...cash it and pay her bills for her. She does not have a bank account and cashes her check at the local Safeway and has been cashing it there for years. She gave me her drivers license and social security card and a note giving me permission to cash it...so I went up to Safeway. They refused to cash it and told me that she was the only one that could cash it. I explained why she could not and told them that they could call the hospital and speak with her...they would not budge...even though they actually knew who she was.
I ended up paying her bills out of pocket. To some people policy is not to be bent.
