We are in the process of acquiring custody of a minor relative. His father has relinquished his rights and his mother is deceased. The mother gave birth at age 17 with very little employment history. Can you tell me if he has any amount of Social Security benefits available to him if the mother never established an employment history.

If the mother did not work and pay SS then there would be no SS benefits available.
But - according to your income status you may be able to receive benefits from your state - especially health benefits.
If you are not sure where to check I would suggest you seek out someone in your church who deals with helping people in "need".
Or go to your local Salvation Army as they always have a list of "places' to go for this type of assistance.
