You can find some of this information available by going to the SSA gov website SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS ONLINE and at the top choose SURVIVORS or you can use the search box.

If you are the unmarried child under 18 (up to age 19 if attending elementary or secondary school full time) of a worker who dies, you also can be eligible to receive Social Security Survivor benefits.

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.
