The SSA require that Social Security benefits be used for the person that is eligible to receive them and in some instances for a dependent spouse and minor children.

SS benefits for minors are due to the loss of a parent 'Survivor benefits'.

The general criteria is that such monies are to be used for basic necessities, food, clothing, shelter, education, in some cases a reasonable amount of spending money for an older child, etc. with any remainder placed in a savings account for the minor child.

It would be extremely difficult to prove that benefits for a minor are being misused unless an investigation by a social service agency or other authority proved that said minor child was living in an unsuitable environment and had been subjected to neglect and/or abuse.

Can you spend a social security check on recreational activities?

If it is your account, you can do anything you want with it. If you are the custodian for another person's check, the money has to be spent for that person. The guidelines for what benefits another are pretty liberal. If the other person is a minor and you want to use his money to take him and the family to an amusement park, that would be fine. You do have to keep a record of how you spend the money if you are the custodian, but that is pretty simple. Social Security gives you a form. The local Social Security office can provide answers to your specific questions.
