Can My Adopted Daughter Continue To Get Benefits While She's In College?

we adopted our grand daughter when she was almost 2. I filed early for social security so she could also get social security it stopped at 18. is it possible to get it for her if she is in college/?



Hi,

No. The only way that your daughter could continue to receive child's benefits after she's age 18 and out of high school is if she's disabled.

Best, Jerry
