Iowa Girl Conceived After Father's Death Not Entitled To Benefits

Iowa Girl Conceived After Father's Death Not Entitled To Benefits, Appeals Court Rules | FoxNews.com: Brynn Beeler was born through in-vitro fertilization using sperm from Patti Beeler's late husband, Bruce, who died of leukemia at age 37.

Beeler filed for Social Security survivor benefits for her daughter shortly after Brynn's birth in April 2003. But the federal government said Brynn did not qualify for the benefits based upon its interpretation of an Iowa law written before technology was available to allow genetic material to be preserved.
