At
this time, it is virtually impossible to list all benefits, qualifications,
and exclusions since Congress has recently made significant changes in the
law and has proposed others. Also, because there are different qualifications
for the many individual situations, a detailed discussion with a Social
Security Officer is advisable. In planning ahead, you should be sure the
following information is available before contacting Social Security.
1) Social Security number of the deceased
2) Record of earnings for year preceding death
3) income tax returns, W-2's
4) Date of last Social Security check, if applicable
5) Amount of funeral expenses
6) Birth record of children under 23 years of age
7) Marriage certificate
8) Social Security numbers of spouse and children
9) Military records
