Cleaning flame sensor/not replacing. When I was learning the trade I was taught to use sand paper to clean the flame sensor or just replace it. A guy I hired told me that he uses a green kitchen scratch pad. I have to say this works, and is probably a better choice. Just thought I'd pass this tip on to fellow techs. 10-16-2008, 10:38 PM #2.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers survivors benefits to the widow or children of the deceased. The widow and children must meet SSA guidelines to receive the benefits, not the deceased. Spouses and children of individuals who committed suicide can collect survivors benefits, with one exception.
If a parent or spouse dies before reaching retirement age, the survivors may be eligible to collect SSA benefits. SSA bases its determination on death benefits by how long the worker in question has been paying into the SSA fund. Younger people are not required to have been working as long as older people.
