Description
Elsmore Boothe, a coal miner, died on September 10, 1973. At the time of his death he was receiving black lung benefits. Appellant Velda Boothe was married to Elsmore Boothe for over 17 years until their divorce in May 1969. Velda retained custody of their five children. Less than a month after Elsmore Boothes death, Velda sent a letter of inquiry to the Social Security Administration asking whether she would be entitled to receive black lung benefits because of her former marriage to Elsmore. While Velda Boothe acknowledged in her letter that she would be receiving black lung benefits on behalf of the minor children of the marriage, her inquiry to the Social Security Administration asked whether she was entitled to receive benefits on her own behalf.
