My wife passed on Dec. 5 and Social Security wants her December payment back. The problem is I cannot find where to send the payment back – a letter from Social Security says I should contact the probate court. I tried but there is no information at all on this subject on the probate website. So where do I send the payment to?

Hi, Ronald. We are sorry about your loss. In some instances, the financial institution will automatically return payments upon notification of the beneficiary’s death. To verify, please contact your local Social Security office. We hope this helps.

I began receiving social security in September 2020 at age 69+ and was told that I would be credited with my additional delayed retirement credits in January 2021, this because delayed retirement credits are only applied each January. Now it is December 2021 and I have still not been credited with the additional delayed retirement credits. Why the delay? In my case they are, quite literally, “delayed retirement credits”.

I’m very disappointed in this program..Both of my parents were alive at the time of deposits kick in…they haven’t even received the death certificates yet and already closed their bank accounts without any contact to the surviving children..and clearing out their accounts…Already getting greedy…Shame on you…

Hi, Beverly. We are sorry to hear about your loss. Social Security benefits are paid the month after they are due. Depending on the date of the month when the death occurred, it is possible that the benefits may have to be returned. In cases where the benefits were received via direct deposit, often times the financial institution will automatically return payments upon notification of the beneficiary’s death. For more information, check out our publication, How Social Security Can Help You When a Family Member Dies. For specific questions regarding your parents’ benefits, please call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. You may also contact your local Social Security office. We hope this helps.

I am unclear as to the reason or reasons for such a long delay on a decision. What is taking this office so dang long. Seriously. I am becoming beyond depressed.
A.C.
Hi, Yulanda. Thanks for using our Blog. The length of time to get a disability decision varies. Social Security pays disability benefits to people if they have a medical condition that has prevented them from working or is expected to prevent them from working for at least 12 months. We use the same five-step process to make a decision on each application. For more information about the status of your claim, please contact your local Social Security Office. We hope this information is helpful.

A good informative article for online users. Few online websites provide you suitable option for finding a right company as per you need on behalf of their clients’ review and rating.

Hello
Gregory G.
I was looking at the cost of living increase and started running some numbers on my calculator. I wasn’t surprised at what I seen ! The amount my SS benefits was suppose to increase was 113.398 but the SS administration only increased it to 113.00 . Most wound say 39.8 cents per mouth or 477.6 dollars per year is nothing but I disagree, If you the tax payer owed our “SO CALLED GOVERNMENT ” 39.8 cents they wound bill you for the 39.8 cents plus late fee penalties and interest. There are over 50 million recipients of SS benefits in America that has worked over three quarters of there lives and paid SS benefits.If you do the numbers the amount our government is shorting or you could say “STEALING”from the recipients is unbelievable.Just doing my numbers 39.8 for 12 mounts =4.77.8 dollars multiplied by just say an even 50 million is 238,900,000 . I know some recipients numbers may be less and some may be more depending on how much you draw per month . My point : this is a good demonstration of how dishonest our “Government Officials” so called leaders that are suppose to be representing the american peoples best interest .The SS administration needs to recalculate my numbers and get it right ,down to the penny !!

I spoke with a Mrs. Espinoza at the Southcross Social security Office in San Antonio TX and was given horrible customer service she was extremely rude wouldn’t let me speak. The service was absolutely horrendous. I’ve worked in customer service for over 5 years and I would never provide that type of service it was very unprofessional.

I tried to log onto my account but the site will not accept the verification code nor the repeat. I tried the “ask the expert’ site and was transferred to an unknown site requesting my ss number and other private information. Not acceptable.

Called social security – on hold for 45 min waiting on hold for a rep – then “apparently” one grabbed the call, but never talked – heard something like small dogs barking. Tried the feedback form – it’s not working – crappy system

Im stranded abroad without payment for 2.5 months (over a notice I failed to respond to because Im stranded abroad) I submitted that paperwork within days via PDF document. The website doesn’t work, The phone wait times are ridiculous and the many messages I left to the specific person handling my case have gone unanswered. It took 3 weeks from notice sent to my lifeline being cut but going on 3 months to hear absolutely nothing in a desperate situation is pathetic and unacceptable.
