A call to all those who follow social security benefits
The SSA determines this SGA level by doing a comparison of the income of your business to the income you received before you became disabled, as well as to the income of a healthy individual doing the same business. Q: If I pass away while I am in the Social security disability application process, where does my claim go? A: According to the Social Security Administration, if a person who may be eligible for social security benefits dies (this includes Supplemental Security Income), their survivors may apply for a Lump Sum Death Payment. What does this mean? If you die in the while your claim for social security benefits is pending, your family may be able to get some of the benefits you would have been eligible to receive after the waiting period. In order to receive the lump sum payment, your survivors must prove that you would have qualified for social security disability in the month of death. Only certain close family members are eligible for these survivor's social security benefits.
