i would like to inquire my mom is there any Social Security benefits for burial

A) There isn’t a direct Social Security benefit that goes towards funeral expenses. However, Social Security does offer a one-time lump sum death payment of $255 to certain eligible family members.

Here’s who can receive this benefit:

• Surviving spouse who was living with the deceased at the time of death
• Surviving spouse who was not living together but was eligible for Social Security benefits on the deceased’s record in the month of death
• Child who is eligible for benefits on the deceased’s record in the month of death (if there’s no surviving spouse)

You can find more information about this on the Social Security Administration website https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-8.html

In addition, Social Security doesn’t count money set aside for burial expenses (up to $1,500 per person) as a resource for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This means it won’t affect your SSI benefit. You can find more details about this on the SSA website here https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/spotlights/spot-burial-funds.htm
