My mother died in July. My father went to Social Security and filed to receive my mother's benefit amount, because she made more money than him. He also filed to receive the $255 death benefit and her last check, which was held back in August. The clerk told us he'd start getting her full benefit once it was processed. In September he still got his original amount, which didn't surprise us. In late September he got the $255 death benefit and another payment that is $200 less than her monthly benefit was. We assume that's her last check, because their regular checks don't arrive until the third Wednesday. Any idea why he got $200 less? I don't remember him being asked to fill out an IRS withholding form.
