My husband and I reconciled right before he got sick and passed away. I had sole custody of grandchild and adopted him after my husband passed away. Even when we weren't living together he helped support our grandson. But at the time of my husband's death we had been living together for 2 months. Is my grandson eligible for survivor benefits?

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm assuming that your grandchild is a minor child. If so, then based on your description it sounds like your grandchild would likely qualify for Social Security child benefits on your husband's account. The full rules on this topic are explained in the following section of Social Security's operations manual: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0200306145#c.
