Hi Group,

Parents 62 years and up applying for Social Security retirement

benefits who have school –age children will also receive benefits for

those dependent children. The basic criteria is that the child must be

still in high school and up to 18 years old, however a 19-year old child still

in high school is also eligible for dependent benefits. The child’s

benefits will be approximately half of what the parents receive. Children

who are considered disabled, and began their disabling condition before the age

of 22, are eligible for these dependent benefits indefinitely.

For more information, check out the FAQ at

Along similar lines, I recently learned that our children (diagnosed) remain eligible to receive benefits under our health insurance plans even after age 18 or 24.
