My two boys were receiving survivor benefits from their dad. My oldest just turned 18 and won't be getting his share anymore. Does my 15 year old's benefits go up? I was told by one person from SS yes and no from another.

Only the Social Security Administration can answer your questions. Call for an appointment at the local office and prepare copies of all pertinent information for your visit.
Thank you! I might have to do that because nobody knows anything on the phone I keep getting different answers
No, they will not go up, you will receive just the amount for your son. I received Survivor Benefits and once my son turned 18, I received half the payment for the next 22 months for my other son.
No, they will not go up. My sister and I used to receive survivor benefits, when I turned 18 mine stopped and hers stayed the same. Hope this helps.
