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.
SSA estimates that. paying full benefits for the month of death would cost $1.6 billion annually. Alternatively, paying 50% of the benefit if the recipient dies in the first half of the month, and a full benefit if the recipient dies in the second half of the month, would cost an. estimated $1.2 billion annually.
