As long as you are eligible to receive benefits, they do not end until the day of your death. At that time based on your death your family will be eligible to receive an end-of-life benefit to assist with burial/crematory arrangements.

Discover Options Regarding Social Security Death Benefits?

Social security death benefits are also commonly referred to as social security survivor's benefits. Death benefits are a financial sum that is distributed to a person who is typically next-of-kin of a person who passes away. The deceased person must have been employed in the United States and have social security retirement benefits available upon retirement in order for a family member to receive financial benefits upon the person's death. The death benefits of a deceased person will go to a spouse if there is a spouse living. Because the death benefits from social security only amount to a small sum, it is important for people to consider alternative options that will help to financially sustain them and their way of life. Making a commitment to develop a financial plan is the first step to take in order to prepare for a secure financial future. In order to file for the benefit, a person must contact his or her local social security office and begin the paperwork procedure. Filling out an application and providing proof of relation and a death certificate of the individual is necessary in order for the process to be completed. Because the social security death benefit is such as small financial sum, it is important for families to plan in advance and to consider a life insurance policy to better financially provide for their family members in the event of a death in the family. While receiving a social security income, or a death financial benefit from the social security office is helpful, these sums are rarely enough to support a widow or a widower, or further family members. Speaking to an insurance agent about possible retirement savings plans and life insurance plans is the best action to take to make a solid financial plan for the future that will provide financial protection for the family in the event of a person's death.


Is it possible to receive unclaimed Social Security benefits from a parent?

No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits.Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
