Whether you are entitled to money from the Social Security Administration after your mother's death in 2015 depends on your relationship to her and her Social Security benefits. If you were a dependent or if she had a surviving spouse who was entitled to benefits, you might qualify for a one-time death benefit or survivors' benefits. It's best to contact the Social Security Administration directly to inquire about your specific situation and eligibility.
When a person received social security checks, they must file a report as to how they are spending this money. If a person knows of this money being abusively used, they can report it to the Social Security Administration.
In general, you and your mother's other children are entitled to the same benefits - child support, Social Security, a share of the estate, etc.
No. A father cannot use a copy of the kids social security to get welfare benefit if the mother already got the assistance.
The answer depends on the details. You may be placed in your father's custody, if possible, or under the guardianship of a close family relative. You may be given the opportunity to choose but an adult will need to advocate on your behalf. You may inherit your mother's estate. You may be entitled to Social Security benefits.
Social Security calculators vary from state to state, since the entitlements vary with local regulations unless your mother is a former federal employee. Your nearest socials security office will be able to advise, and they also provide calculator programs to work out your mother's entitlements.

Yes. Social Security checks are non-transferable, so you can't legally keep the check. You need to write "void" on the face and either mail it to the Social Security Administration or drop it off at your local field office. If you are considered next of kin, SSA may ultimately issue a portion or all of her last benefit to you, but you need to fill out form SSA-1724 and apply under your own name.

This website won't give you the exact number, but it will give you an estimated number. Go to http://www.ssa.gov/planners/calculators.htm, it will ask you a few questions to calculate your estimated monthly benefits.
