If a working parent has met all the other criteria, then upon his death his dependents would qualify for Social Security benefits. By dependents, I mean children, spouses, etc. There is no cause of death clause in Social Security Survivor benefits, like you would find in a standard life insurance policy. 33% of Social Security benefits are given to adults. Whether there is a surviving parent does not matter. In fact the surviving spouse would also receive survivor benefits.
I really need an answer to this question. I live in the state of Va. and my son passed away from suicide and left a daughter only 1 yr. old at the time and she is now 6yrs. I want to know if she is entitled to any social security benefits. My son paid into the system for 9 yrs. Thanks
yes i am positive she will get a lil something especially if he paid 9 years . I checked with social security i only paid 2yrs and if i commit suicide my kids are eligible
Your suicide would not affect your child's SSI eligibility. However, SSI is decided on an individual basis - being a dependent of an SSI recipient does not make one eligible for SSI. Your child would have to be legally blind or permanently and totally disabled to qualify.

Unless there was a lien on the assets, you're probably out of luck. However, the child might be eligible for RSDI (Social Security) based on the deceased parent's earnings.
yes the children with deceased parents get social security benefit's. but only if the parents were workers in the US.

For a minor child (under age 18) to collect Social Security, the child's parents must be eligible for Social Security. This generally occurs when the parent(s) become 62 or "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by Social Security.
In the US, a dependent child of a deceased parent may be eligible for assistance from Social Security. Check with your local Social Security office.

You can get social security at that age if you are disabled, a disabled widow, the widow of a spouse who was already collecting social security and you are not a worker. You can get social security if you are a child of a deceased parent or your grandparents are on social security and they are your sole source of care.
No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits.Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
The minor child's benefit is a percentage of the disabled parent's benefit.
