If your mother receives Social Security survivor benefits for your care who will get the money if you become emancipated at age 16?

Social Security laws would determine the allocation of benefits. Some possible options are, the emancipated minor would receive the benefits directly, a payee representative would be appointed for the named person or benefit payments would no longer be applicable due to the minor having gained legal adult status.

When you have a child will he receive the Social Security benefits that you receive?

Biological children can be eligible for survivor benefits when are of minor age and a parent dies. The termination or relinquishment of parental rights does not always relieve the requesting parent of financial obligations to his or her children, unless those children have been legally adopted. Whether or not a minor child qualifies for SS or SSI benefits would depend upon the individual's circumstances.


Can your parents take your Social Security check and not spend it on you?

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.
