Survivors Benefits Law

Survivors Benefits Law, within Social Security, provides financial support to the family members of a deceased worker who qualified for Social Security. Eligible survivors may include a widow or widower, children, and sometimes dependent parents. The benefits aim to help replace lost income and can assist with living expenses after a loved one's death. The amount of benefits depends on the deceased's work history and earnings. To apply, survivors must provide necessary documentation and meet eligibility criteria set by the Social Security Administration.
