Ex-Spouses, Kids & Parents: Social Security Benefits

from The Daily News Now! Business

Did you know that Social Security benefits arent just for workers and their spouses? Ex-spouses, minor or disabled children, and dependent parents of deceased workers can also qualify. The Social Security Administration determines eligibility based on specific rules. Ex-spouses can claim on their former partners record if married for at least ten years and havent remarried. Children can receive benefits if a parent is retired, disabled, or deceased, with age limits and exceptions for disabled children. Dependent parents of a deceased worker can also qualify if they meet certain criteria. Contact the Social Security Administration to check your eligibility and understand the implications of remarrying. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
