There may be survivor's benefits that continue after the death of the insured. Social Security may continue to provide benefits to the following qualified individuals:
A surviving spouse
surviving divorced spouse,
unmarried child, or
dependent parent
These individuals may be eligible for monthly survivor benefits based on the deceased worker's earnings. In addition, a one-time lump sum death payment of $255 can be made to a qualifying spouse or child if they meet certain requirements.
To find out about eligibility, contact your nearest Social Security field office.
