Who qualifies for the $255 Social Security death benefit
The $255 Social Security death benefit is a one-time payment available to certain family members of deceased workers who paid Social Security taxes. Eligibility typically includes surviving spouses who lived with the deceased or can receive benefits based on their record, as well as qualifying children under specific age or disability criteria. Families must apply within two years of the worker’s death, and the benefit is separate from ongoing monthly survivor benefits, which provide longer-term financial support.
