My husband passed away and my children get his survivor benefits. I am a bit confused when I need to file for them. They received SSA-1099-SM and all of them had the same benefits paid of about $25k+ and they each earned about $600 on interest. Some sites say: I have to file a claim for each child, I claim their benefits/interests on mine, I do not have to do anything, or I do have to claim each as their benefits topped $25k. My kids have no other income since they are too young to work. Please advise. Thank you.
