Yes, she will still get her biological fathers death benefits. I adopted two girls and they both received their mother's death benefits in the state of Florida, which SSA is gov so it shouldn't matter about the state being Texas. They received it until they are 18, or if in school they can receive until 19 yrs 2 month. I just dealt with this today as I had a SSA appt for this exact question.
We are about to adopt our Baby "G". Her Bio-father passed away in December. I was wondering if she qualifies for SSI death benifits, and if so would she still receive those benifits after adoption? We are pretty sure she will not qualify for adoption subsidy since she is under two, is not a sibling to any of our adopted children, and has no special needs at this time.
Thanks in advance for any info you can give! We are in the State of Texas!
