So if this is the case a parent could receive Mother/Father's benefits forever. Once a child gets close to 16, just pump out other one.
Anonymous - 1016am. That's the dumbest thing I've heard anyone say. SS benefits hardly cover the cost of raising a child. There are other reasons a mother might conceive a child after the death of the father.... maybe they were already planning to conceive and the death was unexpected. I don't think anyone sane would bear children just to get SS benefits. Please....

No awarding benefits to a child born two years after the parent died is the dumbest thing.
