Dependents’ benefits refer to financial assistance provided to family members or dependents of individuals who are entitled to receive benefits under certain social welfare or insurance programs. These benefits are typically available in situations such as disability, retirement, or death of the primary beneficiary. They aim to support spouses, children, or other dependents who rely on the primary beneficiary’s income or support. The eligibility criteria, amount, and duration of dependents’ benefits vary depending on the specific program and the circumstances of the beneficiary.
