Rants about social security help
This level is determined by comparing your business earnings to your pre disability earnings, and the earnings of a non disabled person engaged in the same business. Q: What will happen to my claim if I die while in the process of applying for benefits? A: According to the Social Security Administration, if a person who may be eligible for social security benefits dies (this includes Supplemental Security Income), their survivors may apply for a Lump Sum Death Payment. This means that, if you were to die in the process of applying for social security benefits, your survivors may make a case for the social security benefits you may have earned after the waiting period. To do this, surviving family members need to prove that their deceased relative did or could have qualified for social security benefits in the month that they died. Only certain close family members are eligible for these survivor's social security benefits.
