ss benefits
when does your social security benefits end
End of benefits
This depends on the type of benefit. For example, Social Security benefits for children generally end by age 19. Disability benefits end when Social Security determines you are no longer disabled.

stimlus
My 2 kids recieve money from there dad that passed. I was just wondering if that will recieve the one time 250
Children and stimulus payment
It's unlikely the children will receive the $250 payment. Aside from disabled children who receive SSI, children under the age of 18 (19 if still in high school) who receive Social Security benefits are NOT eligible for the one-time payment.

Stimulus check 2009 for children on SSI

My ex husband passed away. He
My ex husband passed away. He had two surviving children, one of which belongs to me. His oldest child turned 18 and is now a full time college student. When will her benefits stop and will my daughter's benefits remain the same, or will they increase?
Survivor benefits for children
In general, children under age 18 (19 if still in elementary or secondary school) or disabled receive 75 percent of the deceased worker's benefit amount.
However, there is a maximum amount per month that can be paid to all the survivors on the record. The limit varies, but it is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of the basic benefit rate.
So in your case, the elder child (in college) will likely no longer be eligible, but since the two children were at or below the family maximum, the benefit to the younger child will likely NOT increase.

Would like to know how much wife will get as long as husband is alive.
Spousal retirement benefits
Even if a spouse has never worked under Social Security, a spouse can begin collecting the benefits as early as age 62. However, if the benefit begins early, the amount will be permanently reduced by a percentage based on the number of months up to his or her full retirement age.

collecting social security on an ex-husbank
I'm 65 and my ex husband is 52. Can I collect 1/2 of his social security before he turns social security age?
Collecting retirement benefits based on younger, divorced spouse
It looks like this is not possible until your former spouse is eligible for retirement benefits (age 62).
If you are divorced, but your marriage lasted 10 years or longer, you can receive benefits on your ex-spouse's record (even if he or she has remarried) if:
Please confirm with the SSA if this is important to you.
