Survivors' Benefits

Survivors' benefits are financial support payments provided to the family members of a deceased person, typically from Social Security or a pension plan. These benefits help surviving spouses, children, or dependents maintain their financial stability after losing a loved one. The amount and eligibility depend on the deceased's work history and contributions to Social Security or the specific pension plan. Survivors' benefits aim to ease the financial burden during a difficult time, offering support for living expenses, education, and other needs for those left behind.
