Death of an individual

Official source

The LTCSPU will update the individual's death in the appropriate months in ACES and issue an adjusted participation notice for the month of death along with a condolence notice.

Social Security has a rule that the month the beneficiary dies the payment is supposed to be returned for that month. HQ staff has contacted SSA as this policy appears inconsistent. Some are allowed to keep their SSA check, and some are requested by SSA to return the check. The rule for participation adjustment is if the PBS receives verification from social security that the SSA check received in the month of death has been returned, the financial worker will adjust the participation to reflect -0- SSA received in the month and issue a new award letter.
