taxit Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Does anyone know if a taxpayer who qualified for the $250 SS payment in 2009 but passed away before it was received , would be entitled to it on their final return? Thanks for any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 You don't get the SS payment from the IRS. The executor can try to get it from the SSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jainen Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 >> qualified for the $250 SS payment in 2009 but passed away before it was received << This taxpayer did NOT qualify for the payment because he or she died weeks before the check was issued. Social Security is generally not supposed to pay benefits to dead people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Security is generally not supposed to pay benefits to dead people. The mere fact that she died before she would have received the $250 does not disqualify her from the payment. The $250 however has to be handled through SSA by the executor as Lion has stated. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, death is somewhat more than a "mere fact." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imposted the new screen name myself in connection with an otherwise thoroughly unsuccessful computer upgrade which I blame entirely on my collegely graduated progeny.
