SSI Benefits and Child Support?

My son's father recently passed away at 35 yrs. My son is 14 and his father was behind on his child support payments. Will my son be entitled to any benefits? We were never married, but his name is on the birth certificate.

Yes, your son will be entitled to benefits so indeed visit your local Social Security office. They will give you an application to fill out and ask for a few assorted documents to be attached to the application including your son's birth certificate and his father's death certifcate.

Be sure to keep photocopies of the application and copies of all attached application documents. Also, be sure to keep all correspondence (from them and copies of yours to them) in a file folder for safe keeping in case needed in the future for backup.

Don't hesitate to contact the Social Security Administration via their national toll free number! Their agents are there to answer your questions.

You may even want to make an appointment with a lawyer to see what recourse is available to you. The first visit is always free as far as I know.

Best of luck!
