If you qualify for Social Security, and you retire, become disabled, or die, your unmarried child under 18 may be eligible for benefits. If your child is a full time student in the twelfth grade or lower, benefits may be paid through age 19. College students are not eligible. Your child, who became disabled before the age of 22, may receive benefits as long as he/she remains disabled. Your adult child, disabled since childhood, may also apply for benefits on your record, even if receiving benefits on his/her own. The benefits will be computed on both records, and the higher of the two will be paid. These benefits apply to your natural born children and adopted children. Your stepchildren are also eligible if you provided more than ½ of their support and you have not divorced their natural parent. In certain circumstances, similar benefits can be extended to your grandchildren, even step-grandchildren. Although you may be aware of benefits for your child, you may not realize that, if you should die, your parent may be entitled to Social Security benefits based on your record.
