Apparently getting social security isnt a given for the spouse when the pals dies. It is age dependent. My son who has several disabilities, is being evaluated under the disability area as well as, the survivors benefits. We had been told previously he wouldnt qualify because of my earnings which made no sense to me.
Social security requires everyones official birth certificates, marriage license, and death certificate. Then you need all treating facilities names, addresses and phone numbers. You also have to schedule an interview that can be over the phone or in person. Social security starts, I was told, on the day the application is taken, not the date of passing. This is something to be done quickly. Appointments are booking 3 weeks out locally.
