Generally, wherever he is now will be issuing a death certificate, which may take some time (I think it took about three weeks for my dad and two weeks for my mom). When the death certificate is issued, his status is updated with social security as well. With my mom, she received an SS payment the day after she passed and a month later, the money was taken back (auto-deposited then auto-debited so we didn't manually do anything, just made sure the money was there so it could be returned)
I would speak to the funeral director or hospital where his body is because in my experience, you don't have to specifically reach out to SS because the whole process moves together.

I’m not gonna trauma dump on you, but… a lot has happened in 9 years. I don’t really have the zest for life anymore, now I just happen to still be alive.

I did this back in 2014 and absolutely did not sit. Most people stand.
(I was younger, hotter, and dumber then...will not be participating now)

It's adorable to watch you try to rile me up. Enjoy the rest of your Thursday.

Why is it "patients first" when nurses request fair compensation but not when hospital administrators pay themselves millions without even setting eyes on a patient? What makes them worth so much more when all they're doing is logistics?

I hear it all the time! But it looks like the Fed may be succeeding in the "soft landing" that was planned.

Thanks for posting! I’m new to JC and keep meaning to get a library card, so I’ll sign up and make a donation today.

There’s a consignment store on Bergen in JSQ. I haven’t been inside yet but the window display makes it look like a Buffalo Exchange-level fashion spot, so at least you can thrift clothing.

Reply to Journal Square (Safe at Night?) by DarthGabe2142
Like any other urban area- keep your wits about you. I live in McGinley Square and walk through Journal Sq at night multiple times a week (and I'm a woman). It's no different than when I lived in Brooklyn- don't be flashy, don't be buried in your phone, watch where you're going, and you'll be fine.

Oh my bad! Not sure how I missed that.
I chain my bike outside wherever I’m going, which…is probably what everyone does.

We keep our bikes in our basement. I think lots of the newer buildings have their own dedicated bike storage too- my cousin owns a condo in JC and that’s where she keeps hers. Neither of us live downtown.

Reply to comment by YouOldHorseThief in Looking to move to JC and I absolutely love the downtown area but definitely don’t have the funds for it so I’ll be closer to Journal Square. Is it common to just take the PATH or whatever else to get downtown and go for simple walks near the water then come back home? by ng300
Electric Citi bikes ftw

FitHit on 27th street does frequent free (women's) self defense seminars (usually on Sundays at 12). I've taken their classes before and it makes me feel more capable of defending myself if I needed to.

Man, that's so odd to me! Those are very dainty and dignified dogs, I'm sorry for her that she's getting targeted too.

I'm so sorry for all of your experiences, this sounds terrifying :(
What kind of dog do you have? It's odd to me that people keep targeting your dog, hopefully puppy will still be well-socialized!

Yeah, we didn't even bother fighting them about it. I honestly didn't know it was an option so we just let it go.
I'm sorry for your loss.
