Can A Child's Social Security Benefits Be Revoked Due To A Parent Being Non-Compliant With School Requirements?

Can a child's social security benefits be revoked due to a parent being noncompliant with school requirements, such as: not attending meetings, failure to give child prescribed medication, or truancy?



Hi,

No. However, for a child's benefits to continue when they turn age 18, the child must either be disabled or attending secondary school (e.g. high school) on a full-time basis.

Best, Jerry
