Best Answer

If your son is receiving Social Security benefits as a result of a parent's death, retirement or disability, payments stop the month prior to his 18th birthday unless he is still in elementary or high school, in which case they can continue until age 19. Under these circumstances, extended benefits will be paid until the end of the school term or for two months following his 19th birthday, whichever occurs first.

Social Security will send a letter to your son's representative payee (usually one of the parents) approximately five months before his 18th birthday with instructions explaining how to extend the benefit period.

If the benefits are paid for his own disability, he will continue receiving a monthly check beyond age 18, whether in school or not, until he's capable of achieving Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA).
