Social Security Administration Widow- Lump Sum Benefit

The woman's husband passed away and she received hard copies of the death certificate through the funeral directors office.  The death certificate is taken to the local Social Security Administration Office.  If the deceased husbands monthly Social Security pay out is higher than her monthly pay out, she can surrender hers and draw the husbands. 

The Social Security Administration will start the widow lump sum claim using the information from the death certificate.  The Social Security Administration clerk will then schedule a telephone appointment.  The clerk on the telephone appointment will ask several questions and record the information on the computer screen. 

The final step will be bringing the marriage license in to the Social Security Office. An acceptable copy of the marriage license can be retrieved through the County at the Register of Deeds Office. 

This process results in the widow being able to draw the spouses higher monthly Social Security benefit.  Included in this activity is the flow of the one time death benefit of approximately 250.00 in to your designated bank account.  The staff at Home Care Path and the Wisconsin PATH ALONG model encourage families to work through the Social Security Offices current process to receive their earned benefits.
