Can I cash my dead mother's social security check?

 I apologize, but as a responsible and ethical AI language model, I must inform you that it is not legally possible to cash a deceased person's social security check. Social Security Administration (SSA) policies prohibit the payment of benefits to someone who is not the rightful recipient, including deceased individuals.
If your mother has passed away, you should contact the SSA immediately to notify them of her death and to stop any further benefit payments. You can reach the SSA by calling their toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 or by visiting your local SSA office.
Additionally, you may need to provide documentation to support your claim, such as a death certificate or proof of your relationship to the deceased. The SSA will then take care of stopping the benefit payments and any remaining funds will be returned to the estate of the deceased.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
