Survivors Benefits Attorney
Regardless of the circumstances, coping with the death of a loved one is a difficult to endure. However, the financial devastation can be detrimental to a family when the deceased was working and contributing to the household income. Therefore, the Social Security Administration provides survivor's benefits to eligible family members. At the Law Offices of Don Anderson, I understand the devastation my clients are coping with and work to guide them through understanding their rights and obtaining benefits. Contact my Social Security benefits law office for a free initial consultation with an experienced Florida Social Security survivor's benefits lawyer. My main office is located in Largo, Florida, and I maintain a branch office in Tampa.
What are Survivor's Benefits?
Individuals who have worked a sufficient amount of years (generally 10 years) have earned survivor's insurance to be distributed to their family members in the form of survivor's benefits. Survivor's benefits are one type of monthly Social Security income family benefits that are paid to help eligible family members after the passing of a loved one. Some families choose to take advantage of survivor's benefits rather than purchasing a life insurance policy.
Who is Eligible for Survivor's Benefits?
The following individuals may be eligible for Social Security survivor's benefits:
- Unmarried children under the age of 18 or those who are still in high school
- Adult disabled children who have become disabled prior to the age of 22
- Surviving spouse caring for children under the age of 16
- Widow/widower age 60 or older
- Disabled surviving spouse age 50 or older
- Eligible dependant parents over the age of 63
