Re: survirvor benefits for child

I don't have enough info about the parties. There are many factors that effect survivors' benefits and the best place to ask is your local SSA office. Someone there should be able to explain it and they are obligated to do so. Get the reasons in writing, too.

For a list of all of the information needed to file a survivor's claim go to: http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-4.html
