When someone dies when do they get their last Social Security check?

Once a person dies, they are no longer eligible for Social Security. Any payments received after the month in which a person dies must be returned to the Social Security Administration (SSA). It’s not unusual for checks to be mailed or direct deposited the month after a person dies, but that money cannot be kept.
