Generally yes, assuming you were legally married and didn't do them in. The surviving spouse can collect when they reach 62.

How can adult children apply for Veterans benefits on the World War 2 record of their deceased father?

You can contact Veterans Affairs office with your questions. HOWEVER, dependent children are typically only eligible while they are minors or in school / college up to a certain age. If your father had applied and was receiving benefits at the time of his death, as far as I know, the claim dies with him unless his legal spouse can collect continuing benefits as the widow. Adult children are considered able to take care of themselves.

Whether or not your spouse is employed (or, indeed, whether or not you have a spouse) has no bearing on unemployment benefits in any location I'm familiar with. If you lost your job in a way that would allow you to collect unemployment, then you can collect unemployment. If you didn't, then you can't. It's pretty much that simple.


What are the benefits for a spouse of 100 percent disabled veteran?

the spouse has no entitlement to the veterans benefits (the post states that the spouse has no entitelment to the veterans benefits) the spouse is entitled to education benefits, ChampVa medical, the life insurance paid by the VA, the spouse would be beneficiary (if was chosen) if the veteran passes due to the disability caused by service connection then there are pay benefits. So, whoever answered this in the first place did a horrible job. There are benefits to the spouse. Look them up on the VA web site, easy to find. Or call your local VA office. Horrible answer! Mine is not complete but gives you some idea, that there are benefits for the spouse, not necessarily the veterans benefits but your own.

One more thing, they will have to back pay you starting the month after his death.
