Question

Mary is a stay-at-home mother whose husband died. She has two small

children to care for, and her husband was the primary wage earner for their
family. What Social Security benefits would care for Mary and her children?
A) retirement benefits
B) disability benefits
C) survivor’s benefits
D) worker’s compensation

Answer 1

The answer that I think would be correct is option C (survivors benefits)

Step-by-step explanation:

Retirement benefits definition: a form of social insurance payment made by the US Social Security (for age 62 and older) considering that Mary has two small kids, she probably isn't that old.

Disability benefits: in order to be eligible, you have to be unable to do regular or customary work for at least right days. Considering the fact that Mary is a stay at home mother then she wouldn't be employed.

Survivors benefit: this allows a retiree to ensure after death, a continuous lifetime annuity for their dependents.

Workers compensation: provision of benefits to employees who suffered work related injuries. Mary's husband most likely didn't die in the work place.
