| 10. Your surviving spouse does get benefits -- Laura |

Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 06:53 PM by DemBones DemBones
will get benefits from your account if you die before she does, George, if you've paid into Social Security. And, since she only worked for a few years, she'll be better off drawing on your account than on hers.
Also, George, if you had died while Jenna and Barbara were small, Social Security would have paid survivor benefits to them, benefits to help Laura raise them, just as if you weren't a son of a billionaire. For the survivors of people who are not sons of billionaires, Social Security has made it possible to have a roof over their heads and food to eat.
