Survivors Benefits needs to be changed. The rules should be for any biological child of any age, unmarried or married.

Survivor benefits should be to the biological child of any age unmarried or married. The rules state the child must be under the age 18 and unmarried. If the spouse is not entitled to benefits because of length of time of a year then the child must be under 18 and unmarried. If not applied then the divorced spouse would be entiltled to benefits according to length. The rules made doesn't make sense as to the child of the deceased benefits. I address this issue that change needs to take place because the adult/ child is not being compensated. Reference to Social Security, Railroad Retirement Act, and Veterans Dept of Affairs.
