Legal Question in Social Security Law in New Jersey
Social Security Survivor Benefits
My son age 29, died on 8/6/07.
NJ state said no one in his family is eligible for survivor benefits because he was single and had no children.
If that is the case, what happens to all of the money he paid into during his years of employment.

Re: Social Security Survivor Benefits
All of the money that he paid (and the equal amount that his employer paid) remains in the Social Security trust fund.
