Does VMP &Co. assist in filing Social Security papers?
We send written notification (Form 721) to the Social Security Administration that the person has passed away. However, applications for survivor benefits must be handled directly by your family with the SSA by calling (800) 772-1213, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., or by consulting the Social Security Administration web site. It is not necessary for you to send Social Security a certified copy of the death certificate.
