Benefits that go to the survivors. For example, if you had a pension plan, and you died, your surviving spouse might be entitled to some of your pension payments.

Survivor benefits are payments provided by Social Security to a spouse, ex-spouse, or dependent children when a worker dies. These benefits help provide financial support to family members who relied on the deceased person's income. The amount of survivor benefits received is based on the earnings record of the deceased person.
