Mother has passed and I am not certain of the steps necessary with Social Security in Kentucky. Any tips on navigating this. Thank you in advance!this site has been my go to for 3 years now, I can never express my gratitude for the help and guidance!

The funeral home will notify SS directly, if you want to be extra sure, there is a form that you can fill out and send to SS.

Nothing difficult about it.

Sorry about your mother's passing.

Social Security will be notified.
There is nothing you have to do. Depending on when her last check was deposited and when she died be prepared to have that last check taken back.

If Mom passed in December, she still is entitled to the check received 9in December becausebits Novembers money. Its like a job, you get paid after the work is done. She won't receive January's check beca use she passed in December. Sometimes SS claws back too soon. So call if that happens.

SS will stop automatically.
They will not send further funds.
The funeral home notifies SS. You can certainly reassure yourself that they have done so by asking.

If you see a Continuing. SS deposit, do not touch it . During correction, there could be a claw back. You also have an option of going to a SS office with any paperwork and an official death certificate to get confirmation
