Banking Problem with Social Security
A friend of mine lost his wife December 8th.
On the 3rd. week in December, (her social security payment date) it wasn't posted in her check book so he thought it was because she passed in December. I said not true, she should have received her November S/S payment in December regardless. He check w/S/S office and found out I was right. All S/S payments are paid from the previous month. His bank took the privilege of stopping that December payment. What a crock. S/S had to send a form to his bank for the November back payment. Now people in tv land I need to ask: "How many people don't understand and lost out of billions of $$$$ on their spouse's S/S check thinking no payment is paid on the month of passing??" |

Funeral homes are generally responsible for notifying the SSA. In general, they will want the SSN of the deceased.

If she died in Nov she is not entitled to receive a check for November, which is the one sent in December.
Quote:
More likely as stated above that notification came from a funeral home using form SSA 721. At the same time the funeral home possibly did the paperwork for the burial benefit of $225. Nothing was a crock here. Your accusation is unfounded based on misunderstanding the rules. The error is yours not the bank nor the social security administration. edit: I am correctly corrected. The death was in December not November.

Doesn't matter, S/S office said ALL the banks do this.

I don't think the bank did anything wrong. From the SSA.gov website:
"If a beneficiary dies If the payment is by direct deposit, notify the financial institution as soon as possible so it can return any payments received after death. Family members may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits when a person dies." Also, any payments of any type received for a deceased person, must be cashed by the estate executor or by someone who is designated on the account as "transfer on death", in which case, the bank would require proof of death. It would be illegal for anyone else to remove money from an account of the deceased. Last edited by retiredguy123; 01-06-2024 at 11:11 AM. |

If married more than 9 months when spouse passes away, surviving spouse is entitled to a portion of their ss added onto their current amount. It will require an appointment with them to include a copy of marriage license showing date and spouses death certificate. If divorced but once married for 10 years or more, the same applies.
