A viral TikTok story about Social Security has raised a question many families may have asked at some point that what happens to all the money a worker paid into Social Security after they die?
The woman behind the video said her mother and stepfather had paid more than $1 million into Social Security during their working lives, as per a Moneytalksnews report. Her stepfather died at 61 before collecting benefits. Her mother later received about $32,000 a year for four years before also dying.
