When a worker files for retirement benefits, the worker''s spouse may be eligible for a benefit based on the worker''s earnings. Another requirement is that the spouse must be at least age 62 or have a qualifying child in her/his care. By a qualifying child, we mean a child who is under age 16 or who receives Social Security disability benefits. The spousal benefit can be as much as half of the worker''s "primary insurance amount," depending on the spouse''s age at retirement. If the spouse begins receiving benefits before "normal (or full) retirement age," the spouse will receive a reduced benefit. However, if a spouse is caring for a qualifying child, the spousal benefit is not reduced. If a spouse is eligible for a retirement benefit based on his or her own earnings, and if that benefit is higher than the spousal benefit, then we pay the retirement benefit. Otherwise we pay the spousal benefit.

不懂不要胡说八道，知不知道什么是survival benefits?
survival benefit 要过世的人有benefit才行啊。这里的妈妈本来也没有ssn benefit, 孩子根本不可能有。
Suvivor benefits这种情况适用吗？
过世的人只要生前工作交了SS就行，什么叫过世的人有benefits?
当然
这主贴不是写的明明白白这妈妈从来没有工作过，没有交过任何ssn tax啊
因为爸爸工作过，交了SS，去世后妈妈和未成年孩子就可以领，有这么难懂吗？
人家是妈妈过世，不是爸爸过世，真的这么难懂吗？！
。z z
你再去看看主贴的意思
应该是有的，楼主去问一下。这里戾气很重，不要在意。
可是去世的人不是worker呀
好吧，我承认我理解错了，但是有未成年子女，可能还是有，最好去问问
看帖不仔细，去世配偶没收入。
