Who May Qualify For Survivor Benefits?

In many cases, a surviving spouse and minor children can receive survivor benefits. However, since circumstances vary significantly between situations, we also handle claims involving other relations, such as a:

• Surviving former spouse
• Parent
• Stepchild
• Grandchild
• Step grandchild

An adopted child may also qualify to receive survivor’s benefits. The age limit for benefits may not apply to children who have a disability.
