I thought you could get SSI when a parent died?

Yes, they are correct. Technically the child would collect any social security that the parent would have been entitled to when she became eligible for social security had she worked. Unfortunately, since your daughter was so young she didn't have any social security "credits" available for you to collect for her son. I am sorry to hear about your daughter's death.

MY daughter and her boyfriend got his sister when his father passed away it will be 1year on the 19th of this month. They still have a mother (if you could call her that)alive but she walked away. Now they have to go to court that is what they were told by a Lawyer but since she is 17 they have decided to for go that. So my dear I would say to call social services to see what they suggest. I also live here in flint want to talk any time E-Mail me at kellipremo@sbcglobal.net Good luck

This will probably disqualify you from SSI.  Outside of your home and one vehicle, there are limits on the amount of assets you can have to be eligible for SSI.  If the insurance settlement was over $2000, your SSI payments will probably be suspended until the amount left drops below $2000.  Talk to your case worker about this, because if they find out later, you will have to repay any unqualified SSI payments anyway.

The answer depends upon the state where the parents had their domicile at the time of their deaths. Where did they live? Intestate (without a will) estates are the subject of state laws, so there are in fact, 50 different answers to your question. In some states it is rather simple and inexpensive to resolve such a matter, and in other states it is unfortunately not so. I would suggest going to a nearby law library (such as at a law school or in a county courthouse) where you can probably find information that would help. And no, it's not rocket science. With a few minutes time you would be able to read and understand some of the basics of whatever state you're in. You could also probably get some of the basic information from the local clerk of court.

Below is the website for SSI benefits. It has an eligibility screening tool and a link to requirements that gives you everything you need to answer your question.

Yes, you can get paid for taking care of your mom.  If she gets SSI, SSD, you can go to the local office or department of human services can help out as will.  you will have to apply for services (medicad form has all the information that you will need, just check what she needs and who lives with her), and state that you are her primary caretaker, and that she would for you to take care of her.  chances are you will get hired, or not depending on how everything works out in where ever you are from.

For privacy purposes, you CAN NOT find out who received the death benefits when the child died.\n\nYou can try to hire a private investigator to find out, but is it worth all the trouble and money to find out?

If you contact them and let them know she is staying with you, they would probably send it to you for the months that she is staying with you. The SSI is for the care of the child, not her mother. The phone number (toll free) is 1-800-772-1213. I know this because I am a disabled individual who receives SSI and have a friend whose son receives SSI also. You will need her social security number when you call, but also if you are her step mom, they may not talk to you about her benefits due to it being the policy for the privacy act, but they would talk to your husband, who I am assuming to be her dad. But I know if she is going to be there all summer, you & he are entitled to her benefits to help buy what she needs for the duration she is there.

First of all, I am sorry to hear you have lost both your parents.  As far as your question is concerned, Social Security does have a survivor benefit.  Now, since you are under 18 that support would go to your guardian to support you. When I say support you, I am referring to feeding you; clothing you; keeping a roof over your head, ect.  If you are in foster care, it would be payable to the state.  If you are living with another relative, it would go to them.  I don't think you would receive benefits after you turn eight teen, because at that point you are an adult and no longer a dependant.  I would try to find out if your parents had a will just incase they had some sort of life insurance that you may be entitled to or estate.  If you live with relatives, I would suggest you sit down with them and ask some questions.  I would not invest in a lawyer until there is good reason to believe something is being held from you that you are entitled to.  Are you sure that your parents actually owned anything tangible of value?  Did they have a house they owned that was sold after their death before foreclosure?\n\nIf you are in foster care, please plan for your future.  Stay in school and try your best to get good grades.  Visit the high school counselor and find out if there are any scholarship programs for students that are in the custody of the state.  It's going to be a tough road for you.  Hang in there. You can rise above it.\n\nTake care :)

You would have to check with your local Social Security Office for this question.

Contact your local Social Security Administration office in your town.  Be sure to bring information on the child and his/her parents when visiting.

Don't think you can but this looks helpful\nA family member or other person responsible for the beneficiary's affairs should do the following:\n\n- Promptly notify Social Security of the beneficiary's death by calling SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our "TTY" number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on business days.\n- If monthly benefits were being paid via direct deposit, notify the bank or other financial institution of the beneficiary's death. Request that any funds received for the month of death and later be returned to Social Security as soon as possible.\n- If benefits were being paid by check, DO NOT CASH any checks received for the month in which the beneficiary died or thereafter.\n\nReturn the checks to Social Security as soon as possible. To find your local Social Security office, see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/locator/.\n\nA one-time payment of $255 is payable to the surviving spouse if he or she was living with the beneficiary at the time of death, OR if living apart, was receiving Social Security benefits on the beneficiary's earnings record. If there is no surviving spouse, the payment is made to a child who was eligible for benefits on the beneficiary's earnings record in the month of death.

I know that in NY you can. Call your local dept of social services, they can probably answer that for you.
