​​Social Security Benefits

Picture
Wright's Funeral Home will file a Statement of Death to notify the Social Security Administration of a person's death. This notification will stop Social Security benefit checks from being sent. After this notification is sent, no further communication between the funeral home and the Social Security Administration will occur. Any other business with the SSA must be handled directly by the family.
Picture

​​The current policy of the Social Security Administration is to give $255 in benefits, if the deceased has a surviving spouse. If there is a surviving spouse (or children, in specific situations), these relatives will need to contact the Social Security Administration to determine what benefits might be available to them. The best way to contact the Social Security Administration is to locate the SSA office in your local area.
For further information about the Social Security Administration, go to Social Security Online (www.ssa.gov).

You may call Social Security toll-free, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. The number to use is 1-800-772-1213. To speak with a representative, call between the hours of 7:00am and 7:00pm on regular business days. At other times and on weekends and holidays, you may leave a message, and they will call you back, in most cases, the next business day.
​
You may use the toll-free number to make an appointment either in a local Social Security office or telephone to apply for benefits, transact other Social Security business, or just ask questions.
