Social Security Benefits and Survivors Rights Clarified
The Social Security benefit is an earned right and cannot be willed or assigned to survivors. Eligibility for disability requires at least five years of work or qualifying military service in the ten years before disability, with a provision giving credit for post 9 16 1940 active duty. Apply promptly to avoid loss of benefits.
