Can a Student Get Survivor's Benefits Afte Turning 18?
Full Question:
Why do survivors benefits not continue if a dependent child is a full time college student? My daughter receives benefits, and will turn 18 the summer before her senior year of high school. So, under the current SSI law, I will lose benefits for her before she is even out of high school, let alone college. Is there a way I can fight this?
