SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.  AT WHAT AGE DOES THE CHILD OF A RETIRED
BENFEFICIARY BECOME NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS?

Howdy jimmyreed-ga,

From the Social Security web page titled "Benefits For Children."
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10085.html

"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.)

For more on disability issues, there is this Social Security web page
titled "Benefits For Children With Disabilities."
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10026.html

"This booklet is written primarily for the parents and caregivers of
children with disabilities and adults disabled since childhood. It
illustrates the kinds of Social Security and Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) benefits a child with a disability might be eligible for
and explains how we evaluate disability claims for children."

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
