I have a question....

What happens to the money in the Social Security fund that is NOT distributed to its' rightful beneficiary?

Case in point...my husband died at age 53 after paying into it for his whole life. All I received from Social Security was a $250 death benefit. Whip-de-do.

I'm sure that there are many, many people who died whose family never saw a cent of that money.

Yes, I know that survivors with young children receive it until they reach a certain age. Or that I can collect on it when I turn 62 as long as I don't remarry (which is another discussion).

I wonder what the funds are in that category...any answers?
