Can my niece receive my mom's Supplemental Social Security disability check? My sister passed away in 2008 leaving my niece to be raised by my mom whom also passed away in May 2013. My sister never worked and neither did my mom. My mom was receiving SSI (supplemental disability) checks because she was mentally disabled. My niece is 15 years old and is being raised by my aunt whom is also disabled and has very little income. Will my niece qualify for any Social Security survivor benefits? Any advice will help thanks. We are from Texas.

The state you live in doesn't make any difference. You have to call your local Social Security Office and talk to them. They are the only people that can give anybody the correct answer.
