Some people may be eligible for Social Security benefits through a deceased parent if they are under age 18, disabled, or aged 62 or above and their parents are entitled to Social Security benefits. A surviving parent may also get Social Security survivor benefits if their spouse was receiving retirement or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.
