* How Social Security Can Help You When A Family Member Dies *

You should get in touch with Social Security 
as soon as you can to make sure the family receives all of the benefits to 
which it may be entitled.

* A one-time payment of $255 can be paid to the surviving spouse 
if he or she was living with the deceased; or, if living apart, 
was receiving certain Social Security benefits on the deceased’s record. 
If there is no surviving spouse, the payment is made to a child 
who is eligible for benefits on the deceased’s record in the month of death.

* Certain family members may be eligible to receive monthly benefits, including:

. A widow or widower age 60 or older (age 50 or older if disabled);

. A surviving spouse at any age who is caring for the deceased’s child 
under age 16 or disabled;

.An unmarried child of the deceased who is:

- Younger than age 18 (or age 18 or 19 if he or she is a full-time student 
in an elementary or secondary school); or

- Age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22;

. Parents, age 62 or older, who were dependent on the deceased for 
at least half of their support; and

. A surviving divorced spouse, under certain circumstances.

* If the deceased was receiving Social Security benefits, 
you must return the benefit received for the month of death or 
any later months.

However, eligible family members may be able to receive death benefits 
for the month in which the beneficiary died.
