Can I cash my dead mother's social security check?
<|assistant|>
No, you cannot cash your dead mother’s social security check. The social security Administration will not pay benefits to anyone other than the account holder, even if the check is made out to a beneficiary. The beneficiary's name must appear on the account in order for it to be cashed. Only certain persons may request a replacement social security card in the name of the deceased, so it is important to research what options are available in your particular situation.
