If the check that was paid and then returned was for the November payment, the heirs will still receive the money. It will just take a little longer to get it from SSA. The point is that SSA cannot send money to a deceased person. A deceased person cannot cash a check, but someone else could illegally seize the money.

Paltry $255?
Don't blame the SSA. Blame Congress, it hasn't been increased in decades.

Short story I was the Power of Attorney for my uncle who was in a retirement home in Fort Myers.
I would made all payment from his checking account but within 48 hours of his passing his account was closed. I had more than enough money, so I could pay for his funeral. But since I live in TV, I had to petition the courts in Fort Meyers to get reimbursed. Which was a process. This happened so quickly I never had the chance to inform the bank or social security. The way it seemed, they knew he was gone before I did. |

Actually there’s a computer death record match that occurs in time. I strongly recommend that spouses and families don’t do what you’ve said. I was a federal agent who prosecuted people for doing this.

Don't kid yourself - Social Security knows of a person's passing in LESS than 24 hours and THEY notify the bank. I've had 3 personal experiences with this fact!

I am aware of that what amazed me was the swiftness of the bank closing the account.

From AARP...
Quote:
But her survivors are not entitled to keep the May benefit scheduled to arrive in June, even though she was alive for all but one day of May. She was not alive for the entire month, and for benefit purposes that is the determining factor. If that May payment is made because Social Security was not notified promptly of the beneficiary’s death, it will have to be returned." |

So if you die on November 30, you don’t get any SS money for November? Even though you have to pay food, utilities, and amenity fees for the entire month.
I would think it would be prorated. |

As I understand it, it is not prorated. If you die on November 30, you don't get anything for November. It may not be fair, but that is the way it works.
