Yes, a child who is not in the care of the deceased's widow may still be eligible for Survivor's benefits if they meet the eligibility criteria set forth by the Social Security Administration. This includes being the deceased worker's biological, adopted, or dependent stepchild, and meeting age and relationship requirements.

Step-child is only eligible for survivor's benefits from step-dad under special circumstances. If child moves in with biological dad, customarily dad is entitled to child support from mom. This very well might affect child's eligibility for survivor's benefits from step-dad. Social Security Administration would need to be notified of child's address change and representative payee would need to be changed (from mom to dad).
