I have a complicated question. I have 4 sons, 2 different fathers. Both fathers are deceased. My question is that my oldest 3 are over the age of 18 and all have graduated high school, but their father died before any of them graduated or turned 18. My youngest is only 16. It'd been 4 years since their passing. They both died within six months of each other. Can I get survivor benefits for either. I know the oldest kids' father worked, but I'm not sure about my youngest.

Call your local Social Security Office and talk to them. They can give you the correct answer.
The SS office can answer all of your questions in just a few minutes. Just be sure to take all SS numbers with you when you go - both fathers, yours, and all children.
I do not believe you can draw any "back" time but it is best to ask questions and get the correct answers. It seems you have waited a long time to seek benefits. I hope it was because you did not need the assistance.
