Cleaning flame sensor/not replacing. When I was learning the trade I was taught to use sand paper to clean the flame sensor or just replace it. A guy I hired told me that he uses a green kitchen scratch pad. I have to say this works, and is probably a better choice. Just thought I'd pass this tip on to fellow techs. 10-16-2008, 10:38 PM #2.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers survivors benefits to the widow or children of the deceased. The widow and children must meet SSA guidelines to receive the benefits, not the deceased. Spouses and children of individuals who committed suicide can collect survivors benefits, with one exception.
Under Social Security law, when a person who has worked and paid Social Security taxes dies, certain members of that person's family may be eligible for survivor benefits. As a result, there are now about 5 million widows and widowers receiving monthly benefits from Social Security based on the earnings records of their deceased spouses.
