Survivors' benefits help family recover after loss
Hoover, district manager at Lorain's Social Security office, recounts how survivors' benefits supported a family after a wife's sudden death in 1979. Benefits provided monthly payments for a widow with a child, child care help, and food money, with lifetime eligibility rules and a one time death benefit of 255 dollars. The average monthly payment for a widow with two children is about 1350 dollars, illustrating the program's value. Information on eligibility and local office contact is provided.
