My stepfather died in 2004. My mother is 85 years of age and has not remarried. Is she entitled to my stepfather’s social security benefit?

My son’s father was killed 13 years ago, 5 days shy of his 21st birthday. S.S. denied the application because he didn’t have enough credit hours. He did work, just not enough. I’ve come across several people with similar instances and their children are getting S.S., but they are too afraid to give their personal info in fear of their own S.S. changing. Is there another program or something? Many thanks for taking the time to review and respond. Krisha Caudle

question: Are both parties eligible for the $255.00 death benefit or does it just go to whoever dies first the husband or wife? example:
If the husband dies & you get the death benefit
then the wife dies years later does she also get
the death benefit from social security? Also if
a person get ss & they die do you return their last check or do they keep it since when you start getting ss they are a month behind?

I was born on Jan. 20th 1938. I began drawing social security at age 65 and two months (that was my full benifit age). My wife was born on June 2nd. 1946. If my wife begins drawing social security at age 63 and begins drawing from her work record can she get survivors benifits when she turns 66 (her full retirement age) at the exact rate that I am getting when she recieves servivors benifits after I am dead. In other words if I was getting $1,800 a month would she also get $1,800 a month under survivors benifits.

My husband died in 2002. My four children and I have been receiving his SS. The childrens bennifits have paid all of them until they finished high school.
My youngest son will be 16 in Sept. Does that mean in Sept. I will no longer recive the SS?
I am 100% handicapped and I will be 49 this year.
