The Galegos also have certain financial resources available after Susan’s death, however, so their life insurance needs are lower than this amount. If Susan dies, Raphael will be eligible to receive Social Security survivors’ benefits—approximately $3,500 a month ($42,000 a year) until the youngest child graduates from high school in 9 years. After the children leave home, Raphael will be able to work full-time and earn an estimated $52,000 a year (after taxes) until he retires at age 65.
