Benefits for your family

Benefits also can be paid to your unmarried children if they are:

Younger than 18;
Between 18 and 19 years old, but in elementary or secondary school as full-time students; or
Age 18 or older and severely disabled (the disability must have started before age 22).
If you become the parent of a child (including an adopted child) after you begin receiving benefits, let us know about the child, so we can decide if the child is eligible for benefits.
