The child hot taken away due to the mother and new boyfriend almost beating her to death.... The mother and new BF are in jail for a long time and she signed her rights away. The biological father recently signed his rights away. The child is finally in the care of family members, unfortunately the biological father committed suicide this past Sunday, will the child still get any kind of death benefits or anything, the child also has not been adopted by anyone at this point.... Thanks in advance.... Just trying to help my friend....

He has 3 small children. He passed away suddenly in March 2017. I would like to know what benefits the children are intitled to, if any through the Social Security System and what these benefits are called. Because the father was disabled for quite awhile he does not have much of a work history so was unable to collect SSDI&amp;gt; Please Help answer this question.
