My mother fought for 5 years to receive her Social Security benefits. Finally her lawyers sent her a letter stating that the fight was over and that she would be receiving a letter stating what her monthly amount would be. That was January... by September my mother was dead and had not received not one check. My question is, although my sister and I are adult children are we entitled to the back pay? If we are entitled will the money be taxed? Thank you for any insight.
