children's death benefits

January 13, 2009 by Guest

I have two sons whose father died and they now receive death benefits on his social security, however, one is turning 18 this month and will no longer receive a check. My question is will the other son recieve the total of both checks til he's 18 or will we lose the other half all together? My local SS office told me that the amount the oldest was getting will roll over to the other so the benefits my husband earned are not reduced it just simply rolls over and the son under age receives the total. I'm confused please can someone set me straight on this?
