The responsibility to terminate SS payments for my dad, mother and my
wife's dad and mother fell on me for some reason. No problem or issues
and no requirement to appear in person. Just filled out the required
paperwork and submitted with a copy of the death certificates. Payments
stopped immediately.


When I asked about they told me not to bother, SSA was the first
people the funeral home contacts. Just don't try to spend the money.
The claw back was about 2 months later.
