Dear Rusty: My nephew died suddenly at 50 years of age and left two children, ages 17 and 14. He was divorced, but they were married for more than 10 years, and his ex-wife works as a nurse. My nephew worked for more than 10 years during his lifetime. I want to know if the children are eligible for survivor benefits and the amount of benefits they will receive, and if their mother's income will affect their eligi- bility. Also, will my nephew's ex-wife be eligible for survi- vor's benefit as she is taking care of a child younger than 16 years old? She did not re- marry. Will her income af- fect her survivor's benefit? Signed: Helpful Relative. Dear Helpful Relative: Our condolences on your nephew's sudden and un- timely passing. From what you've shared in your email, your nephew's minor chil- dren are eligible for Social Security benefits based on his earnings record (assum- ing he worked in a job where he paid SS FICA taxes on his earnings). However, because they are divorced, his ex-wife is not eligible for early "child- in-care" spousal benefits. Child-in-care spousal ben- efits are not available to di- vorced spouses under age 62. Your nephew's minor chil- dren are eligible for bene- fits and their mother's in- come won't affect their sur- vivor benefit from their fa- ther. Both minor children currently qualify for a survi- vor benefit from their father, and the benefit for each could be as much as 75 percent of the benefit their father had earned up to the month he died. They will remain el- igible for this benefit until they reach 18 years of age (or 19 if still in high school). It's possible that Social Se- curity's "Family Maximum" may slightly reduce each child's survi- vor benefit to a bit less than 75 percent, but any such re- duction for the 14 year old will disappear when the 17 year old turns 18 and becomes ineli- gible for child survivor bene- fits. The children's mother should contact Social Secu- rity as soon as possible (at her local SS office or at the national service center num- ber: 1-800 -772-1213) to apply for survivor benefits for her children. She may need to provide their father's death certificate (although SS may have already received that from the funeral director), as well as, the children's birth certificates. If your nephew's ex-wife doesn't remarry before age 60, at that time she will be- come eligible to collect a survivor benefit from her deceased ex-husband. But claimed at age 60, that sur- vivor benefit will be reduced by 28.5 percent from what it would be if she waits un- til her full retirement age (FR A) to claim it (a survivor benefit reaches maximum at the survivor's FR A, but is re- duced if claimed earlier). If she claims her survivor bene- fit prior to reaching her FR A and she is working, Social Se- curity will impose an earn- ings limit which, if exceed- ed, could result in the loss of some of her survivor ben- efits. Earnings limits for fu- ture years aren't yet known, but the 2022 earnings limit is $19,560. The earnings limit will no longer affect her So- cial Security benefits after she reaches her full retire- ment age.

Semis continue to disregard detour despite $1,000 fines By Sherri Sebella An RP T Transportation semi was stuck inside the neighborhood just north of town on Tuesday, March 1 after ignor- ing Road Closed signs. Despite numerous signs and $1,000 fine warning signs, truck drivers are still getting tangled in the detour every week, after ignoring signs. "We have had three semis ignore the detour in the last 24 hours," Petersburg Chief of Police Kyle Mills said. "They continue to ignore the signs we have posted. We are writing citations to all semis that violate the ordinance and ignore the signs. Our fines were in- creased to $1,000 a month ago, but it's having little effect. We will continue to stop and cite each truck, but aside from that, plus all the signage, we aren't sure what else will help make them take the INDOT detour." According to Mills, 14 citations have been issued for semi-trucks ignoring the signs posted of Road Closures. An RPT Transportation semi was stuck inside the neighborhood just north of town on Tuesday, March 1 af- ter ignoring Road Closed signs.
