DEAD NYC TEACHER’S HUSBAND COLLECTED $120K OF HIS PENSION AFTER HIS DEATH : SUIT

By Deirdre Bardolf

Published Dec. 30, 2023, 1:15 p.m. ET


A retired teacher mistakenly received pension benefits for two years after he
died — and his husband pocketed over $120,000 of the money, according to a new
lawsuit.

Philip Hanan, 76, died in June 2014 but the Teachers’ Retirement Fund of the
City of New York wasn’t notified of his death and continued direct deposit
payments to his bank account for two years totaling $123,560, according to court
documents.

In that time, Hanan’s spouse, David Dubner of Woodside, Queens, wrote checks to
himself in Hanan’s name from the account, a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme
Court alleges.

He did not report Hanan’s death so he could continue collecting the payments,
the suit charges.

Hanan retired from the city Department of Education in 1989 and continued
receiving pension benefits of up to $59,550 each year as recently as 2015,
according to city records.

Dubner should not be allowed to keep the overpaid funds that “rightfully”
belongs to TRS, the suit argues.

The TRS is now suing Dubner, 70, to repay the funds and accusing him of fraud
after previously trying to sue him in cases that were closed.

When reached by phone, Dubner referred questions to his lawyer, who did not
respond to an inquiry.
