In general, if you remarry before the age of 60, you cannot receive your deceased husband's Social Security benefits. However, if you remarry after the age of 60 (or after 50 if disabled), you may be eligible to receive benefits based on your deceased husband's work record.
Biological children can be eligible for survivor benefits when are of minor age and a parent dies. The termination or relinquishment of parental rights does not always relieve the requesting parent of financial obligations to his or her children, unless those children have been legally adopted. Whether or not a minor child qualifies for SS or SSI benefits would depend upon the individual's circumstances.
Not necessarily. The next of kin is usually determined by the individual's relationship to the deceased and not by their age. In some cases, the next of kin may be a spouse, parent, or sibling regardless of their age in relation to the deceased.
No, or very rarely at least. Social Security ends when you either turn 18, or when you graduate from High School.

They can receive it until 19, if they haven't graduated high school and still attending. I called Social Security after I posted my first comment. When they turn 18, they can have their money direct deposit to their account if the child wants, or they choose to have a check sent to them direct, until they graduate at age 19,
An estate would be opened and the assets and debts inventoried. The remains would be split between the two children, the part for the 16 year old would be put into a trust until they reach the age of 18.
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.
