If you die you don't need the check
Social security may not stop when you die. It depends on the situation. The social security office will know how to apply your particular situation.
how many people die each year who are social security recipients
we all die
No. The Social Security check is intended for that person only, and is not transferable. If the legal recipient is deceased, you're supposed to notify the Social Security Administration and return the check or follow whatever other instructions the representative gives you. People who attempt to convert the deceased person's check for their own use may be charged with one or more felonies.
No. Furthermore, if SSA issues a check after the death of the recipient, they have you (the estate) pay it back -- this is what happened when my mother died.
They remain in the Social Security fund to be paid to other beneficiaries.
They're expecting you to die soon.
If you die you cannot possibly pay child support. The custodial parent needs to apply for Survivor's Benefits through the Social Security Administration.
I'm 79 yrs old can I continue to collect my social security and my husband should he die?
No one will get it. Your parents paid for other people's social security. Just as younger people pay for your parents. Your parents do not have a balance for their social security. The government pays eligible people a certain amount until they die.
The number 'dies' with you. It is not recirculated ever again.
