Yes, if the recipient died before the date on the check it must be returned.

My mother's last check was dated on the exact date of her death, when my brother checked with SSA they said in that case it did not have to be returned, but if they sent another next month by mistake that one would have to be returned.

Yes, you should return a social security payment made after someone's death. These payments are intended only for the living individual, and it is important to notify the Social Security Administration promptly to avoid any potential legal consequences.

How do you get a refund for over payment of social security withholding?

When filing your federal tax return, use form 1040. In the 'payments' portion on page 2, there is a line to enter your excess social security withheld. Enter the extra amount paid in there. This will either increase your refund or lower your liability. You can amend a return already submitted if you did not do this.
