How long after a fathers death does it take for wife and children to start recieving social security?

If a father dies, how long does it take for wife and kids to start recieving social security benefits? Is it an indefinite waiting process like waiting for a social security disability hearing?How long after a fathers death does it take for wife and children to start recieving social security?
Go down to the Social Security office and fill out the applications, you will need ID for wife, birth certificates and SS #'s (cards) for the children, the death certificate as well. They ask you questions and fill the app. out on the computer for each of you. When you are done the person there should be able to tell you about how long to wait and if it looks like you will qualify or not and about how much each will receive. It really is pretty easy and doesn't take long. I am sorry you have need to find this answer. Good luck. I hope this helps.





P.S. I applied shortly after my husband passed away (like 2 1/2 weeks) and in less than a month I received my conformation letters and first payments.How long after a fathers death does it take for wife and children to start recieving social security?
as soon as the death certificate is released social security benefits will start.
You must go and apply for it at a Soc Sec office. Then it should only take 2 - 3 weeks.
you have to go sign up for it i believe.. then they can tell you. but it shouldnt take longer then a month i would think.. you would have to take fathers death certificate as well as the kids birth cert. call your local social security office in your town or county.. good luck
It should take about 3 months...
As with everything else in life...it depends. Each case has variables that prevent anyone from predicting when the checks will start. Call your local SS office.
No. I'm not sure of how long, but it would not be an indefinite wait. If the father paid into social security, then the children are eligible for social security. You have to apply. Check with them. Perhaps something got misplaced.
It shouldn't take long unless there is a debate on benefits...make lots of calls sorry for your loss
it took about 3 to 4 months for my mom to get it
now what kinda question is that...that is a very sad thing to talk about are planning on killing your husband to get money this is a very selfish thing to think about you need to love your husband and hope he is here for a long time if not for you than your kids..having a father is way more important than money
It will take about a month or half a month. It does take some waiting but it takes less time then a social security disability hearing. Sorry about the father's death.
