Child's Survivors Benefits Reduced?

My wife passed away, and I filed for death benefits for my 13-yr old children, everything was approved and I was advised they would receive 75% of my wife's earned SS, and they did for 2-months, then the amount of each was reduced to where it's now only 50% of what my wife would have been due. I received no notice, no explanation. Is this common?

Call your local Social Security Office and talk to them about it. They are the people that can give you the correct answer. If you were married to their mother, you should be getting something too.

As previously stated- only the SS office can help you with this question.

Like someone else said you probably should be getting something too. My Mother received checks for herself and my two Brothers until my last Brother turned 18.
