Social Security 1965 Amendments Expand Benefits Rules
The 1965 amendments widen eligibility for children of retired disabled or deceased workers and modify widow and dependent widower benefits. A child may receive benefits if paternity is proven or court orders exist, or if the worker lived with or supported the child when eligibility begins.
