Q & A

How do I report the death of someone getting Social Security or Supplemental Security Income payments?

Answer: You can report the death yourself by calling 800-772-1213 (TTY 800-325-0778) between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, the funeral director usually will report the death. In this case, give the funeral director the deceased’s Social Security number so the director can report it to Social Security.

Also, remember you and the deceased’s financial institution must return any funds received for the month of death or thereafter.
