I need to know what to do with the checks a relative keeps getting after they have passed away
================
Was the deceased receiving Social Security benefits?
yes there are checks
You will have to return the benefit received for the month of death and any later months?
================
Is there a Social Security benefit for the widow of someone on benefits?
A one-time payment of $255 can be paid to the widow if he or she was living with the deceased; or, if living apart, was receiving certain Social Security benefits on the deceased’s record.
================
can I get any benefits because of the dead person that was on social security?
Did you want to know what family members may be eligible for survivors benefits?
yes sir
Are you a stepchild, grandchild, step grandchild, or adopted child of the deceased?
I'm not any of those
You are not eligible for survivors benefits.
