This article provides a brief summary of survivor benefits for Social Security recipients. How do I apply for survivor benefits from Social Security? When someone who is receiving Social Security payments dies, the surviving spouse is eligible for "survivor" benefits. Apply for those benefits as quickly as possible. You'll need a copy of the deceased's death certificate and evidence of your relationship, marital situation and age. In addition to monthly checks, the Social Security Administration will give you a one-time $255.00 payment to help meet burial or other expenses. Survivor benefits are also available to minor children when a parent dies, even if the parent wasn't old enough to collect Social Security retirement benefits. These monthly payments can be quite substantial, subject to the maximum allowable earnings limit prior to taxation, and are a good source of cash to meet the child's living expenses and savings for college. Will I lose the survivor benefits I collect from Social Security if I remarry? If your spouse has died and you are receiving Social Security survivor benefits, you won't lose those benefits if you many as long as you have already reached the age of 60. If you're blind, you can continue receiving survivor benefits as long as you have reached 50. In fact, if you remarry, you might even see your monthly Social Security check increase. That's because you may qualify for higher benefits based on your new spouse's earning history. You get to choose the higher of the two figures. If you have children who are also receiving benefits, their status will be unaffected by remarriage. My wife and I are both drawing Social Security checks, what will happen when one of us dies? When both partners in a marriage are receiving Social Security payments and one dies, the survivor is entitled to receive the greater of 100% of the late spouse's monthly benefit or his or her own monthly benefit. This does not mean that you will begin receiving two monthly checks when your spouse dies. Instead, it means that you will be able to choose whether to continue collecting the amount that your spouse received when he or she was alive. For example, if your spouse's monthly check was $1,100.00 and yours is $600.00, you would choose to collect payments under your spouse's plan so you could receive $1,100.00 a month. This is a brief summary of some issues related to survivors' benefits for Social Security Recipients. Hopefully, it provides some assistance to guide you in planning for and receiving survivor benefits. Jeffery J.

RIFLE DEER HUNT SHORTER THIS FALL YOU MIGHT SEE a few more young bucks when Utah's general rifle buck deer hunt starts Oct. 23, 2010. But you'll also have fewer days to take one. Utah's most popular hunt will be shorter this year. Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says if you're hunting in northern Utah—where the winter was mild this past winter— you could see more young bucks. If you're hunting in southwestern Utah, where deep snow covered the deer's winter range, you might see fewer young bucks. Aoude says the number of mule deer in Utah is holding steady at just over 300,000 deer. The number of bucks wildlife biologists saw after last fall's hunting seasons averaged about 16 bucks per 100 does on the state's general-season units. When you can hunt this fall depends on two things: your age and the area you choose to hunt: On most of the state's units, those over 18 years of age can hunt for five days, from Oct. 23 to Oct. 27, 2010. Those who are 18 years of age or younger can hunt for nine days, from Oct. 23 to Oct. 31, 2010. There are five units, however, where all hunters—regardless of their age—may hunt for only three days. The hunt on the following units in the following regions runs from Oct. 23 to Oct. 25, 2010: Southern Utah received something last winter that it rarely gets: lots of snow. The snow that fell could result in fewer younger bucks in the region this fall. On the positive side, the moisture has also led to healthy mature deer with bigger fell on the two units this past spring and summer. That has led to healthy deer and good antler growth. "I've seen some good mature buck groups on the Fish Lake unit," he says. Mumford reminds you that the rifle hunt on the Monroe unit is shorter than it is on many units in the state. The rifle hunt on the unit runs for only three days, antlers. from Oct. 23 to Oct. 25. Another plus is the numPlateau, Boulder unit ber of bucks per 100 does.
