FAQ
When a Social Security–insured worker dies, the surviving spouse who was living with the deceased is entitled to a one-time lump-sum death benefit of $255. If they were living apart, the surviving spouse can still receive the lump sum under certain conditions.
The Special Death Benefit is a monthly allowance to an eligible surviving spouse, eligible registered domestic partner, or unmarried child under age 22 equal to half of the member's average monthly salary for the last 12 or 36 months, regardless of the member's age or years of service credit.
Military duty status at time of death is not a factor in determining eligibility. $255 has not changed since its inception and is not indexed for inflation. Application is made by calling 1-800-772-1213. (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or by visiting your local Social Security office.
Spouses and ex-spouses Payments start at 71.5% of your spouse's benefit and increase the longer you wait to apply. For example, you might get: Over 75% at age 61.
Proof of death — either from a funeral home or a death certificate. Your SSN, and the deceased worker's SSN. Your birth certificate. Your marriage certificate if you're a surviving spouse.
Usually, you can't get surviving spouse's benefits if you remarry before age 60 (or age 50 if you have a disability). But remarriage after age 60 (or age 50 if you have a disability) won't prevent you from getting benefit payments based on your former spouse's work.
H2: How long does the retirement process take? The approval timeline varies by benefit type. Retirement benefits typically take six weeks, while disability benefits may require three to five months. Survivors benefits average two to three months for processing.
However, not everyone can collect survivor benefits. Eligibility typically depends on several factors, including the deceased worker's earned Social Security credits, the survivor's relationship to the deceased, as well as their age or disability status.
