Social Security Death Notice
How To Report A Death To Social Security - AARP
You can do so by calling Social Security at 800-772-1213 or contacting your local Social Security office. A representative payee — a person or organization appointed by Social Security to manage benefit payments for someone no longer able to do so — is also responsible for reporting a beneficiary’s death as part of their larger duty to notify Social Security of any event affecting that person’s payments.

What should I do when someone dies? · FAQ | SSA
Notify Social Security as soon as possible when someone getting benefits dies. In most cases, the funeral director will report the person’s death to Social Security. Give the funeral director the deceased’s Social Security number so he or she can report the death. See How Social Security Can Help You When A Family Member Dies for more information.
