Answers
When your husband passes away, his social security disability benefits end. In fact, you cannot receive payments during the month of death. This means if your husband passed away in August, you must return the August check that you receive in September.
Survivors Benefits
However, although you are not entitled to continue collecting your husband’s disability benefits, you and your child may both be entitled to collect social security survivor’s benefits. Generally, you are entitled to such benefits if you are taking care of a child who is receiving social security benefits who is under 16, and your child may be able to receive such benefits if he is under 18 (or under 22 and disabled). You should contact a disability rights attorney for questions about the benefits you are entitled to.
Talk to a Disability Attorney to find out more about the options you have to continue receiving your social security benefits.
