A note about benefit and beneficiary types

Beneficiary-type category names reflect Social Security Act language. Although some are unambiguous, please note the following clarifications:

  • Unless otherwise specified, the “wives,” “husbands,” and “spouses” categories include divorced ex-spouses, who may qualify for benefits if the marriage lasted 10 or more years.
  • The “widow(er)s,” “nondisabled widow(er)s,” and “disabled widow(er)s” categories likewise include qualifying surviving divorced ex-spouses.
  • “Widowed mothers and fathers” are entitled to benefits because they care for a deceased worker's child (if the child is younger than 16 or disabled), whereas “parents” are entitled because they are the dependent survivors of a deceased worker.
  • Unless otherwise specified, the “widowed mothers and fathers” category includes surviving divorced ex-spouses caring for the deceased worker's child.
  • “Children” refers to the offspring of beneficiaries or deceased workers; it does not necessarily mean minors. (Children's benefits may be paid to students aged 18–19 or to disabled adult children as well as to minors.)

NOTE: We are discontinuing publication of—

  • Tables 5.A5 and 5.A6, which showed number, average monthly benefit, and average age for specific beneficiary type groups. These statistics are now included in an expanded Table 5.A1.
  • Tables 5.A10 and 5.A16, which showed number and average monthly benefit for beneficiaries aged 60 or older and adult beneficiaries, respectively. These statistics either already appear within Tables 5.A1.1–5.A1.8 or must be suppressed to avoid disclosing information about particular individuals.
