My daughters biological father has passed away. He has had no legal rights to her what so ever since she was about 2 years old. She is now 13. He was ordered to pay child support and had for the last 11 years. He has now passed away. What is she entitled to? People have told me she should be able to get social security. Is this true? How do I go about getting things done if she is? If there is no other child from him is she entiteld to anything else? I want this strictly for her and what ever she is entitled to gets put away for her college as was mosyt of her child support payments. I am currently married and have 2 other children. I work and do not depend on that money

Call Social Security Administration regarding her entitled benefits. Depending on whether her bio-dad left a will, has property that must be probated, etc. is whether or not she is entitled to anything else. Check the local probate division of the courthouse where her bio-dad was domiciled. You can obtain a copy of the probate file for a small fee should there be one, which is, typically, a month after the death.
