Aidpage Open Letter: Single mom, Widowed, doesn't qualify for help from the government

 in response to Rennie Joy...   Hi Rennie. I haven't posted on here in a while but just got back on today. I Know about those survivor benefits. My daughters father died when they were 15 and 17. I couldn't draw because i worked and "Made too much money". I don't understand. He paid that in. My first daughter only drew a check for a few months, till she turned 18 and the other the same. They are now 19 and 22. I never did get any Widow benefits but had I not worked all my life i would have qualified for a lot more. Just wanted to say I agree.

Want My Life Back

 in response to Hoppi...   Thank you! I haven't been on this space for some time due to time issues and whatnot. I am also a vet and do go to VA hospital but am not eligible for certain benefits as I was not during "wartime". I am checking into this more, but just wanted to say thanks for replying.

Want My Life Back

I have posted first as RIP Randy and Relieved Widow. I was also widowed with two young daughters at the time. please read my last post as Relieved Widow. I know what you are talking about. I lost hope for a while but as I said before, there may be things you have overlooked. Go back and check everything since your husband died. I even found a life insurance policy he had but never mentioned. When he got sick I suppose he forgot to keep up payments. I am now checking into this. God bless you.

My mom needs help to deal with her deceased husbands adult children.

 in response to ekikaseven...   Thank you so much. This bill has haunted me for 5 years but my perserverance paid off. I just wanted to let someone out there know there may be a way out. Keep ALL your receipts and reread fine print.

My mom needs help to deal with her deceased husbands adult children.

 in response to ekikaseven...   I have not looked at this site a lot since first posting. I am happy to say I found a clause in my original loan that I had forgotten. I wasn't exactly looking at fine print when i signed it. Turns out I had disability insurance the bank failed to mention and when I brought it to their attention they wouldn't take it on a technicality. The funeral director brought it to my attention. I am happy to say that altough it has taken some time and effort, not to mention numerious calls and paperwork, my husbands bill has been paid. The funeral director brought it to my attention. Thanks to anyone who responded. Relieved Widow.
