This Little-Known Pension Rule May Slash Your Social Security Benefit. Mark Miller / Reuters. Updated: Apr 22, 2015 6:57 PM ET | Originally published: Apr 16, 2015. Some U.S. workers who have paid into the Social Security system are in for a rude awakening when the checks start coming: Their benefits could be chopped up to $413 per month.
The answer to this question actually depends upon when the Social Security recipient dies. The Social Security Administration will only seek to recover a Social Security check that is paid in the month following the month of death. If a person dies on November 30th and a Social Security check is deposited into their account any time in December, this check will need to be returned to the Social Security Administration. The death occurred in a different month than the month when the check was received.
