a. 62
b. 65
c. 59 1/2
d. 60

Explanation:

Identify the legal provisions for Social Security survivors benefits

Under the United States Social Security Administration rules, a surviving spouse (widow or widower) caring for a child under age 16 receives mother's or father's benefits. These benefits stop when the child reaches age 16.

Determine the eligibility age for resuming widow benefits

The surviving spouse can receive widow's retirement/survivor benefits again starting at age 60 (or age 50 if disabled). The period between when the child turns 16 and when the widow reaches age 60 is known as the "blackout period."

Match with the given options

The age at which Jessica can begin receiving benefits again is 60. This corresponds to option D.

Answer:

• (A) 62
• (B) 65
• (C) 59 1/2
• (D) 60 (Correct answer)
