Social Security con-
tinues to pay a major role
in protecting survivors of
workers who have died
Nearly 7.3 million widows
and widowers, children
and aged parents now
receive about $2 5 billion
each month.
These regular monthly
checks can do much to
keep a family together
and ease the financial
burden following the loss
of the breadwinner. The
average payment is $377
for an aged widow and
$914 for a younger widow
with two or more
children. Benefits are
tax-free and increase
automatically to keep
pace with the rising cost
of living. Those eligible
for payments include:
• Unmarried children
— Who are under 18 (or
under 19 if full-time high
school students) or who
were severely disabled
before age 22 and who
continue to be disabled.
• Widow or widower —
Who is 60 or older (50 if
disabled) or is caring for
a child — under 16 or
disabled — who is also
entitled to benefits. A
surviving divorced
spouse is eligible, but the
living with the deceased
or is eligible for monthly
benefits.
If a worker in your
family has died, contact
any Social Security office
to see if benefits can be
paid. Among proofs
generally required are
these: Proof of death; the
worker’s Social Security
number and Social
Security numbers and
proof of age for all ap-
plicants; the worker’s W-
2 wage statements or
F'ederal tax returns for
the past two years; and
proof of marriage and
divorce if you are ap-
plying as a surviving
divorced spouse.
