Hello...my mother is 79 and father now 83. they have a equity line of credit on their home totaling 47000. (the house is now worth only about 60k). If my father were to pass away what benefits can my mother receive? My father is a retired steelworker (35 years of svc), he receives $1000. from SSI and roughly 500. from his pension check. My concern is whether or not my mother will still receive this income/pension if he were to pass. I'm afraid she could lose her home as she cannot pay for loan on just her SSI check. Please advise. Thank you in advance for your anticipated response.
Regards,
Carmen Cuevas
P.S. I looked online for Survivor Benefits and was all over the place! I just need a straight answer for peace of mind. Thanks again.

She will receive his pension check as survivor and her ss will increase.
