What is the maximum age that you can receive survivor benefits?

Survivor benefits can typically be received by a spouse or dependent children of the deceased until they reach a certain age. For dependent children, benefits generally continue until they turn 18, or 19 if they are still in high school. Spouses can receive survivor benefits at any age if they are caring for the deceased's child under 16. There is no maximum age for a surviving spouse to receive benefits on their deceased partner's record, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.
