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.
The lump-sum Social Security death benefit is a one-time payment of $255. If a person is already claiming spousal benefits at the time their spouse dies, that person does not need to submit a separate application for the lump-sum Social Security death benefit. The $255 will automatically be credited. Dependent children, though, will need to apply to receive the $255 payment.
