It would be my pleasure to help you. You should know that when a person dies, we will be notified immediately, so you can not report a death or apply for survivors benefits online.
Did you want to report a death or to apply for benefits?
No, I have no death to report. I'm just looking for information.
My question is if I have to apply for survivors benefits or if I automatically get survivors status.
Unfortunately you can't apply for survivors benefits online, we automatically receive a report when a person dies.
Do you want to know more about the process of reporting a death?
Nah, no need for that. I just wanted some information, that's all.
Would you perhaps like to know about which documents you need to apply for benefits?
