For a minor child (under age 18) to collect Social Security, the child's parents must be eligible for Social Security. This generally occurs when the parent(s) become 62 or "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by Social Security.
The minor child's benefit is a percentage of the disabled parent's benefit.
Social Security Benefits are paid based on their Social Security number. The younger parent will have to wait until she becomes of age to collect her own benefits.
Unless there was a lien on the assets, you're probably out of luck. However, the child might be eligible for RSDI (Social Security) based on the deceased parent's earnings.
Minor children are only eligible for SS benefits when a parent dies. In cases such as mentioned above, once a child has been legally adopted the biological parent is no longer responsible for the financial welfare of that child.
Yes, a child can receive Social Security benefits if one parent is disabled, provided that the disabled parent is entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The benefits are typically based on the disabled parent's work record.
