My husband passed away and was receiving SSI at the time I don't receive anything do I qualify for any thing from him we had no kids and I'm 38

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. If your husband was receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) then you wouldn't be eligible for any benefits from that program. SSI is a needs based benefit that only pays eligible individuals, not spouses or survivors.

Hello my father recentally passed away and was a self employed laborer. My mother a lifelong homemaker is now left with no income and is wanting to collect my fathers survicor benefits as he does have the 40 points required by SSI. However my parents do owe back taxes. Is my mother entitled to any survivor benefits now or not till the back taxes are paid in full?
Thanks D.

I work full time, making approx $37,000. My husband worked full time with an annual salary of $86,000 + per diem

we have a 13 yr old daughter. My husband passed away Jully 30th and i am trying to determine what the monthly benefit will be in order to determine what things I can afford to keep

I was awarded a reinstatement of my mother's survivor benefit because my 16 yr old is disabled. Will I be awarded back pay from the month it stopped?

Hi. Yes, assuming that you had your child in your care for the entire time that your benefits were suspended, and provided that your child was determined to have been disabled all of that time.

Best, Jerry

Can my step mother receive my deceased father's SS benefits if they were "married" in a non-legally binding church ceremony 11 years ago? She is also an Oregon PERS recipient.

Thank you in advance!

My children’s father died 4 years ago! He wasn’t working a full time job. My daughter qualified for social security because she was only 13. My son being that he just turned 18 and was going to college full time , was not eligible! A case worker also suggested that I apply for spousal sosial security , yet when I mentioned it to the next case worker she laughed and said no, you don’t qualify! And that was that! Did I qualify for social security or not.

I was married for 23 years been divorced for three years. My ex-husband died. He was receiving disability Social Security benefits. Will either be allowed to still receive his Social Security survivor benefits? Right now I am only 48. I do have children with him that are currently in college. Would any of us receive benefits.?

My brother was married but lived separately from his wife when he died ( they were on good terms but couldn't live together.They were not legally separated and he helped care for thier 2 grandchildren whom she had adopted.When my brother passed ,social security told her that she was not entitled to surviver benefits for the granchildren because my brother did not live with them and was not on the adoption papers.My brother was 62 and was taking early social security.Is there any way that my sister in lawShe works as an assistant in a drug rehab facility and makes about 14$/hr ca

I’m curious as to why my daughter’s survivor benefits did not go up when her middle turned 18? When the oldest child turned 18 the middle kid and my daughter’s benefits went up. The amount that it went up made it seem like they were getting the oldest kids check split between the 2 of them. My daughter is the youngest and now the only one left collecting and it didn’t go up when the middle kid turned 18?

My ex spouse died while receiving social security disability benefits. Now I'm adopting our grandchild who was born after grandfather died. Both of my grandchild's parents have died. Can grandchild receive survivor benefits from grandfather's account after I as the surviving spouse have adopted grandchild?
If so can I then receive survivor benefits for caring for grandchild?
