Sure, no problem. Your application should start when we get notified about a person's death. This is the only way, because you can't report a death or apply for survivors benefit online.
Ok , i understand. And what can i do if i need to report a death or apply for benefits?
In that case, please make use of Social Security toll free number to talk to a representative. Or if you like, you can visit your local Social Security office, no appointment required.
Ok, thanks for the answer. Now, lets say that i report a death, what happens then?
Are you asking in behalf of your spouse or parent records?
Not, not at all.
Are you asking for a retirement or disability situation on your own record?
No, neither that.
Are you asking because you're not getting any benefits?
