Ciau Family Seeks Support for Two Children After Loss  

In its press release, the Social Security Board stated that Ciau Junior’s beneficiaries are entitled to claim Survivor Benefit. We asked the family if they intend to claim these benefits; here’s what they had to say.

 

Santiago Ciau Sr., Father

“The turning around they’re doing with my daughter-in-law right now for that survivor benefit. The turning around Social is giving me right now? They want this, they want that, they want that. They request for certain information. Those informations were given to them. So I don’t know what’s the turnaround for this. The fact is that, I think, my grandchildren are due something. He’s leaving two kids, a boy ten years and a girl fifteen years. And one in primary school and one in high school. All I want to say is that I hope that someone at the Social Security Board have souls with them  and to look after the kids of my son. The government had spoken to us and given some information, and we are looking forward to see what will be done with that information that they gave us. We spoke, and they said they’d see what they can do. But, uh, as yet, nothing. The Treasury Department cut off the pension right away. And said, nothing for the kids, nothing for the wife.”
