How much is the Social Security Death Benefit for a spouse or child?

  1. $150

  2. $255

  3. $300

  4. $500

The correct answer is: $255

The Social Security Death Benefit for a spouse or child is $255. This benefit is intended to provide a one-time payment to help with the expenses that arise from the death of a family member. The amount has been set at this figure for many years and reflects the benefit's aim to provide some level of financial support in a time of need. The other options do not align with the actual benefit amount established by the Social Security Administration, confirming that the correct answer is indeed the $255 figure for the death benefit.
