Social Security Benefits




Survivors Benefits


When you die, your family may be eligible for benefits based on your work. Family members who can collect benefits include a widow or widower who is:
      · 60 or older; or
      · 50 or older and disabled; or
      · Any age if he or she is caring for your child who is younger than 16 or
         disabled and receiving Social Security benefits on your record.

Your children can receive benefits, too, if they are unmarried and:
      · Younger than 18 years old; or
      · Between 18 and 19 years old, but in an elementary or secondary school as
         full-time students; or
      · Age 18 or older and severely disabled (the disability must have started
         before age 22).

Additionally, your parents can receive benefits on your earnings if they were
dependent on you for at least half of their support.

Payment After Death

If you have enough credits, a one-time payment of $255 also will be made after your death. This benefit may be paid to your spouse or minor children if they meet certain requirements.

If you are divorced

If you are divorced, your ex-spouse may be eligible for survivors benefits based on your earnings when you die. He or she must:
      · Be at least age 60 years old (or 50 if disabled) and have been married to you for
         at least 10 years; or
      · Be any age if he or she is caring for a child who is eligible for benefits based on
         your earnings; and
      · Not be eligible for an equal or higher benefit based on his or her own work; and
      · Not be currently married, unless the remarriage occurred after age 60 or after
         age 50 if disabled.
NOTE: If you are deceased and your ex-spouse remarries after age 60, he or she may be eligible for Social Security benefits based both on your work and the new spouse’s work, whichever is higher.

How much will your survivors get?

Your survivors receive a percentage of your basic Social Security benefit—usually in a range from 75 to 100 percent each. However, there is a limit to the amount of money that can be paid each month to a family. The limit varies, but is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of your benefit rate.
