What if the father of my two sons is dead and he owned me child support? The boys are 18 and 20. Their father was receiving Social Security when he died. Will I still get the money he owned me?

Your lawyer will have to answer the question about getting money owed from child support. You may be able to get that from his estate. You should be able to get survivors benefits for your boys through his Social Security benefits. All you have to do there is contact your local Social Security Administration office.
If you do get money from his estate toward back child support owed, it may affect the amount of SS benefits, but again, you would need to check with both your lawyer, and SSA office. Best of luck to you.
Good luck with this one. Contact an attorney ASAP and be persistent.
I think the cut off age for a child of deceased is 18. I know you can't collect SS on a 20 year old as one person posted. That is incorrect information.
I am living proof my husband past last year and my son and I are receiving until my son turns 18 and is graduated from high school or if he is still in high school til he turns 19yrs and 7 months old. I can only receive it on my part until my youngest turns 16 yrs old.
