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.

∙ 12y agoYour 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.

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.

Is it possible to receive unclaimed Social Security benefits from a parent?
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.
