A person in my family lost her boyfriend in an accident and he left behind a 1 year old child he was 22 and lived in New York. He also worked for a little while before passing. I was wondering can her child since she is 1 years old get his ss benefits? They were not married they were dating.

most likely yes...my mother collected ssi benefits for me and my dad died when he was 19 and she was still pregnant with me they were never married and paternity had not been established at the time of his death as she was only 4 monts pregnant with me..she showed proof that at the time of his death they were living together

There is a certain amount of months you need to work before any death benefits are paid out through SS. It never hurts to call though. No one will be further behind.

If he only worked for a little while, I don't think so. He would not have accrued anything in the way of benefits. Sorry.
At this point, there would be no way to determine legal paternity either.
