Can social security couples get money after one spouse dies?

One of the social security couples dies and the other half doesn't get the money.

If both husband and wife have paid social security, under certain conditions, after the death of both husband and wife, the children can receive the other's pension. The specific situation and operation methods may vary according to regions and policies. For details, please consult the local social security department or relevant institutions.

Personal social security information query requirements:

1. You can use your ID card to print the personal account payment list in the service hall of the social security bureau to which your unit belongs;

2. You can call the local social security bureau to report your personal ID number and inquire about the social security payment of your personal account;

3. You can use the social security number or ID number to enter the website of the local social security bureau to inquire about the payment of individual social security accounts:

(1) Insured individuals must register their own login information, including citizen ID number, social security card number or medical insurance card number, and set the login password when using the labor security personal information inquiry system. If you forget your password, you can re-register. Insured persons without social security card or medical insurance card can't provide inquiry for the time being;

(2) If you have any objection to the inquired information, please contact the staff in charge of social insurance in your unit to verify the data information. Insured persons paid by individuals, please go to the social security sub-center of the district and county where you are located to verify the data information;

(3) The data of the labor security personal information inquiry system is updated every month, and the social security card is received in the current month, and the inquiry must be registered in the next month.

To sum up, the social security fund is set up to protect the basic needs of the elderly, so in principle it does not support early withdrawal or transfer. After the death of both husband and wife, their pensions may be treated as inheritance, and the specific situation needs to be handled according to local laws, regulations and policies.
