Is It True That My Son Will Continue To Receive Benefits When He Attends College?
Hi. I was told by a friend that since I am receiving social security benefits that my son who is currently a senior in high school will be able to continue to receive some financial benefits through social security when he attends college - is this true? Can you tell me how to apply for those benefits while he attends college? Could not find that info on soc sec site. Please help!! Thank you!!!
Hi,
No. Social Security child benefits end at age 18 unless the child is still attending elementary or secondary school (e.g. high school), or if they're disabled (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0323.html).
Best, Jerry
