Can I cash my dead mother's social security check?
<|assistant|>
No, you cannot cash your dead mother's social security check. In order to cash the check, you must be the social security recipient or you must be a joint owner on the account. You cannot cash the check if you were not a joint owner on the account and the check is made payable to an individual. The social security Administration will typically require proof of the relationship with the deceased person before releasing the funds, if requested by the bank. If you are a joint owner, you should be able to cash the check with proper identification.
