SSA uses Form SSA-8 to collect information needed to authorize payment of the lump sum death payment (LSDP) to a surviving individual (e.g., widow, widower, or children of the deceased, etc.) as defined in section 202(i) of the Act. Respondents complete the application for this one-time payment through: (1) use of the paper form; (2) the Internet modality through the Universal Benefits Application portal, (3) submission of a completed fillable static PDF webform through our Upload Documents portal (OMB No. 0960 0830), or (4) a personal interview with an SSA employee either via telephone, or in a field office. For all personal interviews (either telephone or in person), we collect the information via our electronic Modernized Claim System (MCS) screens. When a respondent completes the paper Form SSA-8, they mail it back to SSA. The respondents are applicants for the LSDP.
