If your husband received any compensation after his last work day, such as unused vacation pay, earned sick pay, or any other income that would be subject to SS tax, and if that payment came in after the date of application for SS benefits, the $ amount would have shown up on SS records and possibly have been construed as compensation for active work.

That's the only explanation I can think of. Please keep us posted as to what you find out! Good luck to both of you!!
