Your Family May Be Eligible for Social Security Benefits After your death, your family may be entitled to Social Security survivor benefits. Eligible family members will receive monthly payments -- as much as the full retirement amount that would have been paid to you.
Social Security pays out two types of death benefits. The first is a lump sum death benefit of $255. The second is an ongoing monthly death benefit called a survivor benefit. Both are covered below. 1. Lump Sum Social Security Death Benefit. A spouse (who is living in the same household) can receive a one-time lump sum benefit of $255. If there is no spouse, a dependent child generally age 18 or under (see exceptions to the age 18 rule on the minor child section of Social Security's website), is then eligible for a one-time lump sum death benefit.
