Best Answer

No. The Social Security check is intended for that person only, and is not transferable. If the legal recipient is deceased, you're supposed to notify the Social Security Administration and return the check or follow whatever other instructions the representative gives you.

People who attempt to convert the deceased person's check for their own use may be charged with one or more felonies.

No. If the person were to die before the date on the check, the IRS will require the money back.
