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.
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
If you die you don't need the check
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.
Social Security benefits are paid in arrears. That is, benefits are paid on the 1st of the month AFTER the beneficiary has earned them by living the previous month. The requirement is a person must live the entire month to earn the benefit. For instance, if one dies during the month of September - even September 30th - then no benefit should be paid on October 1st. If a beneficiary dies, you should notify the Social Security Administration immediately, as well as any other federal retirement office which pays retirement annuities. If a check is sent, don't cash it but return it. If money is directly deposited in the bank, don't spend it as it will be transferred back to the government. You should first call (800) 772-1213 and speak with a Social Security agent for more information.
