Will working now affect me receiving survivor's social seucrity payments?

Question

I'm 17 at the moment and I've been receiving SS payments for my fathers death for a few years now. I've just gotten my first job and I was wondering if I will still receive payments or if it'll be less.

Also my mom stop receiving checks a year ago so if she's been working since then, will that affect how much I receive?

Answer 1

A friend of mine gets SS payments from their fathers death, and they are to continue until she is 18 no matter what.

Answer 2

you will be receiving them until you turn 18. just because you work, it won't make a difference.
