Summary

Military Widows and Surviving Children Social Security Benefits Restoration Act - Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make monthly payments to persons who: (1) would have been entitled to child's insurance benefits on the basis of student status under title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) of the Social Security Act as in effect before the amendments made by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981; and (2) are children of individuals who were members or former members of the Armed Forces before August 13, 1981, and who die while in active military service within a specified time period or who die from a service-connected disability incurred within a specified time period. Provides that such monthly payments shall be equal to the monthly child's insurance benefit to which such persons would have been entitled under title II of the Social Security Act. Requires the Secretary to make monthly payments to persons who: (1) are surviving spouses of individuals who were members or former members of the Armed Forces before August 13, 1981, and who die while in active military service during a specified time period or who die from a service-connected disability within a specified time period; and (2) are not entitled to mother's insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act because they are caring for such veterans' children who are between the ages of 16 and 18 and are entitled to child's insurance benefits. Provides that such monthly payments shall be equal to the monthly mother's insurance benefit which such persons would receive under title II of the Social Security Act if the children in their care were under 16 years old.
