Court House - We hear so much from people who say we do not need government, especially Social Security and Medicare. Please keep in mind that if a spouse suddenly dies, the remaining spouse can file for Social Security benefits for a surviving child. This helps to support the child and stabilize the family in a time of crisis. It was put into effect to help people through a traumatizing time. If half of a family’s income is suddenly lost, this money can help the family survive, especially when there is no life insurance.
