Does a child born to unmarried parents qualify for government benefits
Any biological or legal child is eligible for government benefits, including Social Security survivorship benefits, government pension benefits and the like. The key is to ensure birth certificate and paternity issues are resolved as soon as, or shortly after, the child's birth. Once that's done, you can be assured that if tragedy strikes you or your partner, your child will be covered. If you neglect to establish yourself as a legal parent -- for example, by failing to put your name on the birth certificate -- and your child seeks government benefits after your death, the agency may deny his or her request because there isn't any proof that you were the parent. At the very least, your child will have to deal with the hassles of proving parentage.
