Could you please tell me on what documents I need to submit when applying for the Survivors benefits?
First you need to select the benefit you will be applying for from the list below to see what information and documents you may need when you apply. For example a widows/widowers or surviving divorced spouse's benefits or a child's benefits.
Gotcha. Is there a possibility I can do this over the phone? I feel more comfortable talking to a person.
Of course. You can call 1-800-772-1213 or TTY 1-800-325-0778 and speak to a Social Security representative between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also visit your local Social Security office.
