SSA uses Form SSA-8 to collect information we need to authorize payment of the lump-sum death payment (LSDP) to a widow, widower, or children of the deceased, as defined in Section 202(i) of the Act. Respondents complete the application for this one-time payment through use of the paper form, or 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. Respondents are applicants for the LSDP.
