A family member or other person responsible for the beneficiary's affairs should do the following:
Promptly notify Social Security of the beneficiary's death by calling SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213. (TTY 1-800-325-0778.)If monthly benefits were being paid via direct deposit, notify the bank or other financial institution of the beneficiary's death. Request that any funds received for the month of death and later be returned to Social Security as soon as possible.
If benefits were being paid by check, DO NOT CASH any checks received for the month in which the beneficiary died or thereafter. Return the checks to Social Security as soon as possible.
You can check the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) database to verify whether a Social Security number belongs to a deceased person. This database is maintained by the Social Security Administration and is publicly accessible.
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.
In the US, a dependent child of a deceased parent may be eligible for assistance from Social Security. Check with your local Social Security office.
If you and your spouse have been married for at least 10 years, she will be eligible for a Survivor Social Security Benefit monthly check if you are deceased, and if she is age 62. But if she is disabled, she may qualify to draw it at an earlier age. You can phone your social security office or go online to be sure though, which I recommend.
