Will My Granddaughter Qualify For Social Security Benefits On My Record?
My Grand daughter has received Social Security since she was young, she is mildly mentally retarded with other issues. She had a daughter which the court took away from her and gave my husband and I full permanent custody. Would she qualify for benefits when I retire next year without adopting her??
Hi,
Unless you adopt your granddaughter, she could only qualify for child's benefits on your record if both of her natural parents are deceased or disabled.
Best, Jerry
