<prompt> Human: This is more of a hypothetical question, but my grandma is 87 years old and has been living on her social security for maybe 20 years? Shes been on it since before I was born and Im 21. Shes otherwise healthy for 87 but recently tripped over a sidewalk and fractured her shoulder. She lives in an income based housing program and has Medicare. I know she gets about 850 its between 800 and 900 for sure a month.  <response>: Social security retirement benefits do not stop. They continue until death.
