You'll get a one-time payment of 255$ if you were living with the deceased, or if you were living apart from her, you'll receive the payment if you were already receiving certain Social Security benefits on the deceased's record.
Do you want to know who would receive the benefits in case there's no surviving spouse?
Not needed, thanks.
I want to know now about surviving parents.
In the case of a dependent parent, who's at least 62 years old, of a worker who dies, the parent may be eligible to receive Social Security survivors benefits.
What should I do if the deceased was receiving monthly benefits?
If the deceased person was receiving monthly social security benefits, the payments received the month the person died, and any month after should be returned.
Who else, apart from the surviving spouse and children, can receive the benefits?
Under certain circumstances, some other family members may be eligible. A stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or adopted child could be eligible for the benefits.
How can I return the monthly benefits received after the death of a family member?
