It has come to our attention that many
single mother’s are not getting the Social Security Benefits
for their children that they may be entitled to if the father
or alleged father is deceased.
Here is the exact procedure you need to do before
setting up an appointment with your local Social Security Office.

The first thing they are going to ask are these two questions.
1.”Is the fathers name on the birth certificate?”
If the fathers name was not on the birth certificate
at the time of his death you will need to do a DNA Paternity
test to prove that he is the father. This can be handled in one of two
ways:
Autopsy:
If there was an autopsy done, a sample of father’s
blood can be collected from the State Medical Examiners
Office in the state in which it was completed. You will
need an Authorization Release Form signed from the
next of kin to release the specimens to the Lab for
the purpose of a Paternity DNA test. A letter is sent
to the parents or next of kin to get permission to do the DNA test.
The blood sample will then be sent to the Lab from the
coroner’s office to be tested. The mother and child
or children will also need to be tested and then sent
to the same lab to be compared. Process can be done in a weeks time.
Grandparentage DNA Test:
If an autopsy was NOT done, one or both of the father’s
parents can be done to complete what is called a
Grandparentage DNA test. Mother and child need
to set up their appointments and send their swabs to
the lab for testing.
You will get results saying he is “99.99” percent that
he is the father or “0” or is not the father. If the parents
are not available, a relationship test can be done if he
had a brother, aunt or uncle on the paternal side.

2.”Do you have the death certificate?”
You will need to get a copy of the death Certificate from
the next of kin or who ever signed for the Autopsy report.
When all that is completed at that point you can
call the Social Security Office to set up an appointment
so that you can start to receive Social Security Survivor
Benefits for the surviving children. Your process will
go a lot faster when you already have those original
documents ready to bring to your appointment.
Documents needed:
Birth Certificate
Death Certificate
