Your children may be eligible for Social Security benefits also.
Your children may be eligible for benefits too. Biological children, adopted children, stepchildren (even if the other parent is alive if you provide more than 50 percent of their support), and grandchildren if both parents are deceased or disabled. Children are eligible for benefits if a parent is disabled, retired, or deceased. If you adopt a child currently receiving Social Security, they do not lose their Social Security benefits, but you must notify Social Security to submit their new birth certificate and get them a new Social Security card.
To be eligible on your record, the child(ren) must be under 18 years of age, or still in high school up to the age of 19, or graduation, whichever comes first. If you have an adult disabled child, that became disabled before the age of 22, when you start your benefits, they will be eligible for benefits on your record for the rest of their lives, or as long as they are considered disabled.
