My mother that I lived with died the day before her direct deposit was made for social security. I have atm card and could I use those benifits for the day before she died to use to pay bills for that month??

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. Assuming that your mother was receiving Social Security benefits, then it sounds like she was probably eligible for the benefit that was due to arrive the day after she died. However, even if she was due that payment, you can't use those benefits without going through the process of applying for an underpayment.

My husband was awarded 3 yrs of backpay disability benefits. He died a week after being awarded his benefits. Am I his wife of 36 years entitled to the disability back payments he was awarded?

Why is social security entitled to put funds for nov when person dies in dec. since s/s pays the in dec for nov When will they release funds.

Hi. I'm not sure that I fully understand your question. If a person dies in December, then their benefit payment for November would be payable. But, if the person dies prior to their scheduled payment date, then Social Security must first determine who is entitled to receive the underpayment.

My mother died in August of 2020 - Social Security used the wrong death date, stopped her last payment (for July 2020) and then 6 months later stole an an additional 2 months payments out of our joint account. I can't find any information on what to do when SS OWES us money. I have been dealing with this for a year and a half.

My wife died in 2002 she was sick 4 yrs before she died. She applied for ss but was denied first time then just before she died she was approved. Then after she died ss notified me ss owed her 7000.00 dollars. At the time I didn't need the money so I never followed up on it. Now that I'm older and with health problem I could use the money. Am I eligible for it now after so many yrs?

My father passed, and is owed his final payment. It's his ONLY asset. I am completing SSA-1724 - and listing all 4 children. However, his mother (100 years old) is still alive. She is unwilling to give me her SSN to complete the form. Will it get processed without her SSN?

My sister died Aug 6. Her SS deposited to her account on Aug 10,, i am co owner of her checking acct. Should I return the SS or will the bank do this?
Thanks, Jeanine

I am looking to have my mom's ss benefit redeposited back into her bank account after reporting her death which caused an overdraft i am on the account and now am responsible.

Hi Larry
My boyfriend, no legal arrangement was made, recently died. He did leave a will with a common friend. He died January 12. Social Security pays by direct deposit the 3rd Wednesday of the month. The bank returned that payment. My understanding from the SocialSecurity.gov website is that his estate was entitled to that check as payment in January is for December. His estate would not be entitled to anything after January.
How is this resolved?
Thank you Karen

I have lived as a caregiver for my mom fir the past 8 years and in the last couple took care of her bills as POA. Mom’s social security check was deposited on the third and her bills paid from it. Mom passed on the sixth this month and social security pulled back her direct deposit on the 15th putting her account overdrawn by the social security amount. What am I obligated to pay back?

Hi,

I'm sorry for your loss.
