when does your social security benefits end

End of benefits

May 6, 2009 by admin

This depends on the type of benefit. For example, Social Security benefits for children generally end by age 19. Disability benefits end when Social Security determines you are no longer disabled.

My 2 kids recieve money from there dad that passed. I was just wondering if that will recieve the one time 250

Children and stimulus payment

It's unlikely the children will receive the $250 payment. Aside from disabled children who receive SSI, children under the age of 18 (19 if still in high school) who receive Social Security benefits are NOT eligible for the one-time payment.

I wanted to know how the amount of social security is determined and what periods of time you use to determine that.

Stimulus check 2009 for children on SSI

May 20, 2009 by admin

Disabled children receiving SSI are eligible for the one-time payment. Eligible recipients will receive the stimulus payment as a separate payment.

Benefit amount determination

Are you talking about Social Security retirement benefits? Survivor? Disability? For retirement benefits, benefits are a function of :

  • Number of years you worked
  • Your wages while working
  • When you started receiving benefits(ex. age 62, 65 etc.)

Check our retirement benefit calculator for various scenarios.

I have not seen any restriction for 2009 stimulus payments regarding income. Note the stimulus payment is not taxable income.

My ex husband passed away. He

October 2, 2009 by Guest

My ex husband passed away. He had two surviving children, one of which belongs to me. His oldest child turned 18 and is now a full time college student. When will her benefits stop and will my daughter's benefits remain the same, or will they increase?

Survivor benefits for children

October 2, 2009 by admin

In general, children under age 18 (19 if still in elementary or secondary school) or disabled receive 75 percent of the deceased worker's benefit amount.

However, there is a maximum amount per month that can be paid to all the survivors on the record. The limit varies, but it is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of the basic benefit rate.

So in your case, the elder child (in college) will likely no longer be eligible, but since the two children were at or below the family maximum, the benefit to the younger child will likely NOT increase.
