Eighteen.
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.
NO. Once the child is 18 or older, they can't receive SS benefits.
Hopefully, there is insurance or other funds in the will designated for the child. Of course, the child will be eligible for social security benefits if the parent worked.
Is there any liability to tell a child of a deceased parent?
Not applicable. You will receive nothing more than the normal amount for a child of a deceased parent.
No. Unfortunately, survivor benefits are only paid if the deceased earned wages and accumulated sufficient credits through FICA taxes.
Depends on circumstances. If the child is underage, then the money goes to a guardian. If the child is of the age of majority, in states where it extends beyond that point, or if there are arrears still owing, then yes.
Contact your local social security administration office.The child may qualify for social security survivors benefits every month until they are 18.The other living parent may also be eligible for benefits until the child reaches a cetain age.
Social Security Benefits are paid based on their Social Security number. The younger parent will have to wait until she becomes of age to collect her own benefits.
Whether or not you can collect your deceased parent's pension depends on the specific policies of the pension plan. In some cases, a surviving child may be eligible for a portion of a deceased parent's pension, while in others, only a surviving spouse or dependent may qualify. You should contact the pension plan administrator or consult a legal professional to understand your rights and eligibility.
You added this to the Adoption category and when adopted the child belongs to the adopted family and gets nothing from the birth family. They only gets benefits and inherit the adoptive family.
It depends on who the collection agency is attempting to collect from. If it is the estate, yes, they must be paid. If it is the child, not necessarily, but it could be garnished or a lien placed on the property.
