Sacramento Disabled Widow Benefits Lawyers
It is never easy to deal with the death of a loved one. The coping process is hard and, regardless of the circumstances, the financial difficulties are only outweighed by the emotional ones. This is especially true when the deceased was working and contributing to the household income. The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides survivor's benefits to eligible family members.
At Milam Law, in California's Central Valley, our attorneys understand the devastation that our clients are dealing with, and use our extensive experience to guide them through the process of obtaining survivor benefits. We will take the time to understand your situation and inform you of your rights.

Fresno Survivor SSD Benefits Attorneys
Individuals who have worked a sufficient numbers of years — 10 years in most cases — have earned survivor's insurance that is to be distributed to family members in the form of survivor's benefits. Individuals who may be eligible for survivor's benefits may include:
- Unmarried children under the age of 18 or who are still in high school
- Adult, disabled children who have become disabled prior to 22 years of age
- Surviving spouse who has children under the age of 16
- Widow/widower age 60 or older
- Disabled surviving spouse age 50 or older
- Eligible dependent parents over the age of 63
Rather than purchasing a life insurance policy, some families choose to take advantage of survivor's benefits. They are one type of monthly Social Security benefits that are paid to help eligible family members after a loved one has passed on.
There can be a one-time, lump-sum payment for funeral expenses for a survivor to assist during that period of grief. You can contact the SSA to see if you qualify for this help.
