If you are a parent and take care of your child who receives Social Security benefits and is under age 18, you can get benefits until your child reaches age 16. Your child's benefit will continue until he or she reaches age 18, or 19 if he or she is still in school full time.
Within a family, a child can receive up to half of the parent's full retirement or disability benefits. If a child receives survivors benefits, they can get up to 75% of the deceased parent's basic Social Security benefit. There is a limit, however, to the amount of money we can pay to a family.
Children can receive benefits at any age if they were disabled before 22 years old and remain disabled. Children can receive up to 75% of the deceased parent's benefit. Social security benefits for children are never treated as taxable income for the parent or guardian.
We consider some of your income and resources to be available to your child. They may affect whether your child can get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and how much. The process of determining how much of your income and resources we will count is called "deeming."
