Yes, depending on the type of benefit you are applying for.
Do you have all the documents you need?
Yes, I think so.  But I'm not sure.
That's okay, you need to apply now anyway.
What if you can't verify anything online?
That's fine, we can still help you get all the info you need.
What if I'm getting benefits from my husband?
We will help you! We will automatically change your monthly benefits as soon as we receive a report of his death.
Do I need to reapply?
You don't need to.  We will process that without a new application.
Can I talk to a live person on the phone?
Absolutely! Agents are available 7-7, Monday through Friday.
How can I report a death?
