Does social security compensate for illness and death?

There is no social security compensation for illness and death. Only bereavement benefits. Retirement has nothing to do with the unit, and family members can handle it themselves. Issue a death certificate to the police station where the household registration is located, and apply to the social security service center with the household registration book and valid proof of the relationship with the deceased. The balance of funds in the personal account of the deceased shall be fully refunded, and the bereavement allowance of 10 monthly local social wage shall be paid.
