Covid Stimulus check received one day after death

My stepmother died on 5/27/2020.  Her stimulus check arrived in her checking account 5/28/2020.  Does my dad have to return this money?  It would help with her final expenses, but he wants to do the right thing. 

Everything I have read said if you receive after someones death you must return, but in this case less than 24 hours is a bit much.

 

Thanks for your help.

I am familiar with the internet . Been to the sites you so kindly listed.  I have seen similar posts here given guidance.

 

Due to the less than 24 hours wanted to know if this is unique.

You seem to be lost on the internet.

Also, each state has two Senators and a Representative from each Congressional District.  They have dozens of paid staff who help constituents with questions related to federal agencies.
