My daughter's dad passed away and my mom filed for survivor's benefits for her. At first she received a certain amount, then her half-sister's mother filed and my daughter's portion of the benefits were reduced to half the amount she had been getting. Which was only fair since my daughter's sister was entitled to her share as well. My question is, when my daughter's sister turns 18, she's 4 years older than my daughter, or whatever the age of majority is, will my daughter's benefits go back up or it will it stay the same amount that she's getting now? Someone said that my daughter's amount will increase when her sister reaches majority, I'm just wondering if that's true or has anyone had any experience with this situation?

Yes when the sister reaches 18 your daughters benefit should go back up.Unless the sister is a full time student and then I beleive she can still receive her share until she reaches 21 of drops out of school.

Every policy is different and it depends on what was set up in the policy. I suggest you get ahold of the company that has the benefits and ask them. They can answer all your questions about that.
