What I say about social security attorney
Children can also be eligible for benefits under the account of their guardian if he or she has died after working and paying enough social security taxes to earn benefits. Children are eligible for Social security benefits when they are: • Not married, • Under 18 years of age, • Or are between 18 and 19 years of age, but still a full time student in elementary or secondary school, • Or, over the age of 18 and disabled before the age of 22. Q: Can my children obtain SS benefits under my account if they do not live at home with me? If your children do not live with you, their ability to obtain benefits will depend on the specific relationship you share with them. For a child to be able to obtain benefits under your social security account, he or she must be financially dependent upon you. Whether they live with you or not, your child will automatically be considered your financial dependent if you share any of the following relationships with them: • The child is your legitimate, natural child • The child is your legally adopted child • The child is your natural, recognized, but unlegitimized child, and either a court has made a determination of support, or you regularly contribute financially to support the child.
