📋 How Social Security Survivor Benefits Work (AARP Article)

FROM THE ARTICLE:

By Andy Markowitz, AARP.

Published October 10, 2018. Updated December 23, 2024.

Nearly 5.8 million people received Social Security survivor benefits in November 2024. These monthly payments typically go to the spouse, former spouse or children of someone who was receiving or eligible for Social Security benefits. In some circumstances, parents, grandchildren or stepchildren of a late worker may also qualify for survivor benefits.
