By John Garlinger

Fathers are often known for their good advice, whether it’s how to catch a ball, ace a job interview, grill the perfect burger or get the best deal on a new car.

Question:

My neighbor said my kids, ages 8 and 11, might be eligible for survivors’ benefits since their father died. Are they?

Answer:

Maybe. For your family to be eligible for survivors benefits, their father must have earned the required number of Social Security credits. If he did, you and your children may be eligible for benefits. You’ll want to apply for survivors benefits promptly because benefits are generally retroactive only up to six months. You can apply by calling Social Security's toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday. For more information, read our publication Survivors Benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10084.html or call us for a copy.

Social Security Board of Trustees: Economic Downturn Leads to Worsening of Long-Range Financing Outlook

The Social Security Board of Trustees today released its annual report on the financial health of the Social Security Trust Funds. The Trustees project that program costs will exceed tax revenues in 2016, one year sooner than projected in last year’s report. The combined assets of the Old-Age and Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Funds will be exhausted in 2037, four years sooner than projected last year. The worsening of the long-range outlook for the Social Security program is due primarily to the recent economic downturn and faster reductions in mortality than previously assumed.
