My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.
