in this case you must return the benefit received for the month of death and any subsequent month.
Can other family members be eligible for the benefit?
Are the other members your stepchild, grandchild, grandchild, or foster child?

If I mentioned continuing to receive benefits after death. For example, if the person died in July, when should they return the benefits?
must return benefits paid in August
and can benefits be paid to the worker's children and the surviving spouse who cares for the children, even if the worker does not have the required amount of credits?
