And why hes checking it.
When my mother died I notified SS about 2 days later. They told me they were going to pull her last check back out so to leave it. I did. They did and then I went and closed the account.
My grandmother had to return the social security check for her daughter when she died June 29. I guess it was the July check I suppose. From that moment on, I always thought they should not pay for following month but the past month so that if someone dies they dont have to payback because it was the last check when they were alive.
