My son's father recently passed away at 35 yrs. My son is 14 and his father was behind on his child support payments. Will my son be entitled to any benefits? We were never married, but his name is on the birth certificate.

Yes, your son should be entitled to SS benefits. Make an appointment with the SS dept. Bring the childs birth certificate with you.
Yes, your son will be entitled to benefits so indeed visit your local Social Security office. They will give you an application to fill out and ask for a few assorted documents to be attached to the application including your son's birth certificate and his father's death certifcate.
Don't hesitate to contact the Social Security Administration via their national toll free number! Their agents are there to answer your questions.
You may even want to make an appointment with a lawyer to see what recourse is available to you. The first visit is always free as far as I know.
Best of luck!
Contact your Social Security Office and talk to them. That is the best advice you will get.
