I know a family that is suffering shock. The father died 3 months ago. The mother suddenly died two days ago of a completely unexpected illness. There are 3 kids. One is 21 years old and has 2 semesters left at a local public college. She is intending to move out of her college apartment to come home and commute instead. The second is a smart kid who is a high school senior. His options may now be limited to community college. The third is 15 years old. They do have supportive many local relatives and friends of the family.
Can anyone provide any advice on any matter?
I have read that the kids can get social security survivors benefits - but only until they graduate high school.
How do you fill out fafsa and state grant forms when you are suddenly orphaned? The mother had a middle income full time job with benefits up until the day she died, and the father also was employed for decades before he became sick, so they are eligible for two social security benefits I believe.
What do you do about health insurance?
