my husband receives SSD and you say he will receive the $250. Stimulus payment our children ages 11, 14 and 18 all receive SS under him do they also receive this payment? Our 18 yr old gets his SS in is own name because of his age and he is still in High School? Also will he continue to get his SS while he attends college?

Regarding stimulus payments for children, please see above. Children who receive Social Security benefits are NOT eligible for the one-time payment. But disabled adult children (over age 18) who get Social Security are eligible for the one-time payment, and so are children who receive SSI.

In general, regarding benefits for children, your child can get benefits if he or she is your biological child, adopted child or dependent stepchild. (In some cases, your child also could be eligible for benefits on his or her grandparents’ earnings.) To get benefits, a child must have:

  • A parent(s) who is disabled or retired and entitled to Social Security benefits; or

  • A parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where he or she paid Social Security taxes.

The child also must be:

  • Unmarried;

  • Younger than 18;
  • 18-19 years old and a full-time student (no higher than grade 12); or
  • 18 or older and disabled. (The disability must have started before age 22.)
