My Mother, Brother and I got Survivor benefits for my Fathers death in 2003. My moms ended when I turned 16, My brother ended when he turned 18 and mine ended when I turned 18 which was only 6 months ago and it was over summer. I believe that I was eligible for benefits until I was 18 unless I was still in school. But I am in School. Is there any way that I can get the check back.? And If so how.?
Survivor benefits while age 18 and in school
Child benefits end at age 18 unless you are disabled or a full-time student attending a secondary (elementary) school, home school, alternate school, General Education Degree program, or online school.
Generally there are no survivor benefits if you're attending college.
