Suspicious Death in Wolfeboro

Mr. V · 05-09-2010, 11:03 AM

Oh, please!

With him being a widower with five kids at home, doesn't Social Security kick in to pay him a handsome monthly stipend?

I'm just sayin' ...

NO! House is getting forclosed and electricity cut off!

Social Security should pay him a benefit for the kids, not for him (he divorced her, IIRC), provided she paid into Social Security for ten or more years.

Maybe she didn't.

A pity.

Is that true? Social Security doesn't pay when the mother dies, only the father? I never realized that.

Social Security spousal benefits are not affected by gender. Even with 5 kids under 16 you ain't gonna get rich on SS surviving spousal benefits.

The people I know getting it got almost $2000 a month for each child. Guess it was because they made more money than you are thinking of RISY.

Absolutely impossible. Here is the quote from the manual:

Maximum family benefits
There is a limit to the benefits that can be paid to you and other family members each month. The limit varies, but is generally between 150 and 180 percent of the deceased’s benefit amount.

Why do you say it's impossible? Remember, I said ALMOST $2000. I can check on the the exact amount but I thought it was around $1800. I know I was pretty surprised when I heard how much they were getting. There were two kids in this case, a child and a step child.

tis,

Could you check the exact amount that the children get that you talk about. Also could you find out if that is Social Security that they are getting and how they figured the total amount for each child. Ages and why they get SS would be nice also.

Thank You

If this is to be a discussion of SS benefits, can it be moved to a separate thread please?

Ed is moving on with his life and getting out of Wolfeboro... The kids are all doing pretty good and that's most important. They will be attending one of the top schools in the state.

This heinous crime is now cold as ice... At least one person out there knows exactly whom committed it... The search goes on for someone with the "gift of gab" to elicit some information that will break this case...

It's always darkest before the dawn...
