Survivor benefits for college tuition

October 26, 2009 by admin

I have not seen any mention of direct college tuition assistance under Social Security survivor benefits.

You can, however, receive "indirect" assistance for college because unmarried children who are under 18 (up to age 19 if attending elementary or secondary school full time) can be eligible to receive Social Security survivor benefits.

survivors benefits after 19?

November 16, 2009 by Guest

survivors benefits after 19? yrs old:
i would also like to know if there is a direct college tuition assistance under social security survivor benefits bc my parent passed away in 08 when i was 18, i recieved ss untill i graduated and turned 19 in the same week. All of the money that was saved for me to to to college has gone into bills and i dont know where to turn. I would like to further my education but i cant if i have to keep working all these hours just to survive. Please if any one knows a way to continue my benefits at least untill im 21 please let me know.

Social Security survivor benefits for children after age 19

This would be the same answer as above.

Unmarried surviving children who are younger than age 18 (or up to age 19 if they are attending elementary or secondary school full time) also can receive survivor benefits. I have not seen Social Security survivor benefits for children beyond that.
