Are you aware that members of your family may also be eligible to receive benefits?
No I was not aware of this. What is required for family members to be eligible to receive benefits?
Have you already started receiving Security retirement benefits?
Yes I received my first payment a month ago.
Some members of your family may qualify to receive benefits. Your spouse or child may receive a monthly payment of up to one-half of your full retirement benefit amount.
How do I know if one on my children qualifies for benefits?
If one of your children qualifies there is a limit to the amount we can pay your family. The total depends on your benefit amount and the number of family members who also qualify.
If my spouse qualifies how much will she receive?
Does your spouse qualify for benefits on her own record?
No she does not qualify.
Is the benefit you receive higher than that of your spouse?
No she does not receive any benefit.
