Millions of aging Americans depend on Social Security for financial support, sometimes as the primary income source. The death of a beneficiary raises concerns, especially for families reliant on these checks. Benefits cease upon death and do not transfer to children or grandchildren. Reporting the death promptly is necessary. However, there may be options for survivor benefits if the deceased was previously married, which could provide financial aid to eligible family members affected by the loss.
Social Security has aided Americans for over 90 years. Though not intended to provide full income, many rely on monthly benefits to pay their bills.
Social Security benefits end when a recipient dies. Death must be reported promptly. Benefits do not pass to adult children or grandchildren.
If the great-grandmother was previously married, survivor or spousal benefits might apply.
