S.s.i One Time Death Incentive

[argkangie]

My Dad Passed Away And I Called S.s.i And Asked About The One Time 250.00 Death Incentive That I Have Known Of People Recieving And I Was Told That My Dad Wasn't Intitled To Recieve, Now My Dad Paid 44,000 In To S.s.i And I Find It Very Upsetting That He Nor His Family Will Ever See A Dime Of Any Of It, Can Anyone Give Me Any Information Regarding This Type Of Situation?

Are you under 18? If not then it looks like you are not entitled to the death benefit.
