Does Social Security take back money after death?

?Any benefit that's paid after the month of the person's death needs to be refunded,? Sherman said. With Social Security, each payment received represents the previous month's benefits. So if a person dies in January, the check for that month ? which would be paid in February ? would need to be returned if received.
