I presently receive social security benefits for myself and my two children as my
husband died in March of 99. I do work however as this is allowed as long as either
i dont' go over a specified amount or pay back an adjusted figure when i do go over
the limit. When I remarry I will of course lose my social security but my two
children will retain theirs. Do I show my childrens social security benefits along
with my earnings when I file the affidavit of support for my fiance (although this
money is for the support of my children but it shows that they are not in a way
totally dependent on me or so i think...) I keep looking for something on this but
so far nada.

Thanks!

Hi All!

This isn't the answer to your question, but I almost bet that if your husbands Social
Security survivors benefit is being split 3 ways, that your children's benefit amount
will go up once your benefit terminates.

Survivors benefit is 75% of the PIA and the Family Maximum (FM) is normally around
150% of the PIA, so if you split the FM 3 ways, you are probably each now getting
less than 75% of the PIA.

Example: PIA $1000.00 75% 750.00 FM $1500.00

FM/3 = $500.00 FM/2 = $750.00

So family income will probably stay the same once your benefit terminates. Call
1-800-772-1213 to see if I'm right, if they haven't told you this already.

Take care,

Mike

Opps - sorry about the blank post I have 3 three children who receive Social Security
benefits because my ex-husband is disabled. I included the amounts I receive for
them, and a copy of the benefit letter as proof and used this as part of my income. I
did this for both the I-134 for the K-1 visa and the I-864 for my husbands AOS. After
all it is income you receive, and it will count toward your total income amount. You
should include the benefits. Take Care. Shelley
