Can I draw my ex husbands social security when he dies?
If your ex-spouse has died, you may collect Social Security survivors benefits, which follow different rules than those for a living ex-spouse. You can apply for benefits as early as age 60. And if you remarry after you reach age 60 (or age 50 if you are disabled), you will still be eligible for survivors benefits.
Who notifies Social Security Death?
In most cases, the funeral home will report the person’s death to us. You should give the funeral home the deceased person’s Social Security number if you want them to make the report. If you need to report a death or apply for benefits, call 1-(TTY 1-.
Does SSI pay for cremation?
Generally, Social Security does not pay for cremation. Moreover, it does not pay for other funeral services, either. However, it depends on the circumstances. You may be eligible to receive a one-time lumpsum death benefit.
How soon after death does Social Security stop?
What you may not know is that SSA cannot pay benefits for the month of death. So for anyone receiving Social Security benefits, the benefit received for the month of death and any following months must be returned to SSA. For example, when a person dies in January, no benefit payment is due in February or beyond.
