Social Security in the United States of America systematically updates its services with the aim of favoring its users. Americans registered with Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) have the option of receiving other income from the government.
These aids could be related to the death of one of the members of a marriage. There are also federal contributions for the relatives of a certain worker and for the employee himself.
The authorities communicate that those interested in learning more about this information can consult it on the Social Security website. An important element that is also available in the virtual space is the Benefits Eligibility Evaluation Tool (BEST).
This instrument assists Americans who inquire about the acquisition of collateral income with the Social Security Administration (SSA). In addition, people can view all the available aid, the eligibility, the requirements that are needed and the ways to request them.
Eligibility for Extra Help
Among the circumstances that the SSA evaluates to grant additional monetary support to citizens, is the death of a spouse. Medicare clients who worked at least ten years and paid taxes during that time are entitled to receive contributions from SSA.
The death of a child of legal age who was in charge of helping his mother or father financially is another possibility that is reviewed. Users and their children have the alternative of seeking financial support for the work of a partner or parent.
Husbands or wives who were married for a period of not less than ten years have the opportunity to earn additional dollars. Parents with children under 18 or disabled children are eligible for assistance.
Those who rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and volunteered their efforts in the military qualify for SSA payments. Those who suffer a decrease in salary have the support of Social Security.
