car accident. maybe drunk driving, but I'm not sure.

So sad. Was it while she was pregnant or did he get a chance to meet his baby?

while she was pregnant

Also, how would her baby be eligible for survivor's benefits? Wouldn't the baby's father have to have earned enough credits through working for her to get them? If he was only 16 when he died, that seems unlikely....

Assuming Derek (Farrah's boyfriend) worked (over the summer, after school, or whatever) and received a paycheck than he paid into social security. It might not be much, but it's enough to make Farrah want some for her daughter.

Derek Underwood died at age 18.

You still have to have the requisite number of credits. The number of credits is smaller the younger you are when you die, but it still takes more than just a few paychecks. SSA.gov states that a young person needs 1.5 years of work--i.e. 6 credits, each credit worth $1,120, up to 4 per year; in order to have survivors be eligible. It's possible he had that, but it seems unlikely.

If he was 18 when he died why is it unlikely that he wouldn't have worked 1.5 years? I know plenty of people who began working at 15, if not 16.

Isn't there also a straight up $255 death benefit?

I thought so too. And I thought a little extra if you have children.

I'm sure anything would help her.

Caitlyn and Tyler need to break up. He is too domineering. They are too young to be in a serious relationship.
Caitlyn should not be in teen mom because she is not a mother.
The relationship issues the other teen moms go through are issues that even married people can have. You can wait until you are 30 or 35 or 40 to have your child, and still have a problem with a husband who cheats on you, acts childish, does not help around the house, and you could also end up laid off from your job, suffer from a sudden illness etc etc.
I do not think people should watch the show and be judgemental. All people have those issues sometime in their life. Farrah is brave, Amber puts up with a lot. The adopted child will wonder why Caitlyn and Tyler did not keep her when they see that the other teen mothers in the show do manage. The men in this show are wimps. What does that tell us about society. Why are they like that. Did we raise them to be like that?

I think MTV wanted to show teens that there are other options so that is why Caitlynn and Tyler are on the show. I feel sorry for them that they have to put up w/ their loser parents. They made a very selfless choice to give their baby away for adoption. I feel sorry for Caitlynn's younger brother who has to grow up with Caitlynn's mother. At least Caitlynn is almost 18 and can get away from her soon. Whenever they show Caitlynn's little brother in the house w/ his mother screaming, swearing and belittling Caitlynn, I think we all know why Caitlynn gave up her baby. It was the right choice IMO.

Caitlyn and Tylers child may wonder why they didn't keep her but she will be so happy they didn't. Her life would have been so different and at the point when she watches the show and is able to comprehend it she'll be so in love and attached to her parents and understand they made the very best decision they could have for her.

What Caitlyn and Tylers child will wonder is for no-one to know. Will she be happy she was raised somewhere else? Depends totally on the family that she is with now. Adoptive parents also have their issues.
Adoptees life is not guaranteed to be a life of roses, with all things wonderful and nice, and doting a-parents.
Sometimes those a-parents lavish material love and spoil the child to make up for guilt for regretting the adoption.

I know one adoptee, who met her birth mother and felt this unconditional love that she had never felt from her a-mother. It had all been contional with her. As a result, she became very bitter when she had her won children. There was something so incomprehensible about the whole thing.

Is that tv-show real-life to some people? You still do not know what is real and what is put on or displayed in a different light just to dramatize the show

I love how Maci and Bentley interact. I want to punch both Gary and Amber and steal their beautiful, neglected baby. Farrah has grown on me, but she's still dumber than a bag of hammers.

If Catelynn's mom is 37 and and Catelynn is 18 than her mom was a teen mom too. You would think she would understand and support her daughter a bit more just with that mere fact alone.
