How Do We Cancel My Deceased Mother In Law's Social Security And Black Lung Benefits?

My mother in law passed away, we need to know how to cancel her social security and her black lung benefits, thank you.

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. You can notify Social Security of your mother in law's death by calling their toll free number, 800-772-1213. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, though, so I don't know who you need to call regarding your mother in law's black lung benefits.

Best, Jerry
