Orlando social security lawyer, a primer
The Social Security Administration provides more benefits to children than to any other group. Children can receive social security benefits under the account of a guardian (that is, a parent, step parent, or foster parent), that is either disabled or eligible for Social Security due to retirement. 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: • Unmarried, • Less than 18 years old, • 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: But, will my children receive social security benefits even if they do not live with me? Whether or not your children can receive benefits will depend on your specific relationship with them.
