A: Planning ahead for your family’s needs is extremely wise. If your family is dependent on your income, you will want to make sure that your Social Security survivor benefits are enough to provide for your loved ones after you are no longer around.
The Social Security Administration can estimate the amount of monthly payments made to your survivors. For example, if you are a 61-year-old retiree who last worked in 1990, your family’s monthly income would be:
These amounts are not only based on age, but the amount that you have paid into Social Security during your lifetime. If you were to pass away while you are still working, your family will be covered by your Social Security survivor insurance, and may be entitled to an even larger monthly payment.
