My sibling passed away at 59. His son is in his 20s and he was not married. What happens to Social Security benefits when a person dies prematurely?

In a case like this - most likely there will be no one eligible to receive benefits from your siblings Social Security earnings.
Survivor benefits for children are only until the child reaches the age of 18-19 so his son at 20 is not legible.
If he had no other children and has no widow then it looks like only a dependent parent might be able to draw from his SS.
This link has some answers but it is always best to go to the Social Security office to ask questions as all cases are different and no one here can fully answer this type of question.
Maybe this site can help explain the different conditions - www.ssa.gov/
I believe he didn't even reach age of disbursement (62 1/2 at earliest) for himself; as well, I don't believe adult children are set to receive, een if he had been of age - the only who could have received would have been the spouse, and that's only if they'd been married at least 10 years
When I had to deal with my dad's benefits it was told to me they would be passed down to my mom. My mom receive a portion of his benefits and had to give up hers because she did not make much at all and she could not draw from two people. Normally they give the higher benefits to the person and the lower once are taken back.
