Nope, my brothers and I inherited their private savings, but no public benefits.
My mom received a portion of my father's air force pension after he passed, but not us since we weren't dependents any longer.
- worrycue 3y agoI take it contributing to SS is voluntary? Else it’s kind of like robbery. When you take a job with a pension, you run the risk of not being able to collect that pension if you die early. But it’s your choice to take the job.
- sojournerc 3y agoSS is withheld in every paycheck by your employer and you can't opt out. The employer pays half and the other (6.2%) is withheld from the employee's gross income. Currently totaling 12.4% of income. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc751 https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc751
