If a parent receives Social Security Disability (SSDI) or retirement benefits, his or her minor children can also receive a monthly benefit until age 18, or age 19 if the child is still in elementary or high school. Extended benefits terminate at the end of the school year, or two months after the child's 19th birthday, whichever occurs first.
Social Security is a federal program; the rules are the same regardless of your state of residence.
There are different rules for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a form of welfare for disabled people and those over 65 who have little other income and few assets. People frequently confuse SSDI and SSI. SSI rules and payments vary somewhat by state.

You receive social security benefits your husband died will you receive his too?
Each person's situation is different. Too broad of a question to answer but here's a shot. Widows are eligible to begin drawing at age 60 if they have not remarried… before that time. They do not get their own and their spouse's but they may be entitled to their spouses. If they already get 500 on their own and are entitled to 600 on their spouse's then they will now get 100 from their spouse. Disabled widows are eligible at 50.

One parent will be designated the "representative payee" for the child's benefits. Usually the parent who filed the retirement or disability claim will fill out a form accepti…ng responsibility for handling the benefits, if that parent is considered competent to manage his or her own money and hasn't committed a felony in the past. If the child receives a lump sum settlement for back pay, the representative payee is required to set up a separate savings account, showing the child as the owner, to protect the child's benefits.

Is it possible to receive unclaimed Social Security benefits from a parent?
No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect ben…efits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund. It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
