My husband is and has been collecting SSA/SSI disability since he was 18. He is not expected to make it through the next month. He is now 34. Can my daughter or I collect survivor's benefits if he did not have any taxable income? If so, is there a way to estimate how much it will be? He only gets $750 a month.

Only Social Security can provide your answer. Call or go to an SSA office. The sooner you take action, the better, as nothing in the SSA system starts until the date you formally file for a benefit.
Please go to your SS office for correct answers to all your questions.
I believe everything will depend on the age of your daughter as she is probably the only one eligible to receive benefits and this will only be until she is 18 - 19 years old. If she is very young then you may be eligible for some benefit to "take care of her".
Most of the state and government benefits will probably remain the same except you may have to reapply for them in your name. Legally you must let these agencies know when he is deceased.
