Should social security reimbursement belong to husband and wife or children after death?

Spouses and children inherit together.

According to the law, children cannot inherit social security after their parents die. However, the balance of the old-age insurance account in social security can be inherited by all children, and if the parents are alive, they also have the right to inherit.

Article 1 127 of the Civil Code stipulates: "The inheritance is in the following order: the first order: spouse, children and parents. The second order: brothers and sisters, grandparents, grandparents. "

The spouse, children and parents of the deceased are all heirs first. For example, after the death of Zhang's parents A and B, Zhang's wife C, Zhang's son D and daughter E, their inheritance is generally divided equally by parents, spouses and children, each accounting for 1/5. So generally speaking, the inheritance rights of spouses and children belong to the same order.
