Social security benefits Children can receive social security benefits under the account of a guardian (that is, a parent, step parent, or foster parent), that is either disabled or eligible for Social Security due to retirement. They are also eligible if said guardian has died after paying social security taxes a long enough period to qualify their survivors for benefits. Check Out.

• Unmarried, • Under 18 years of age, • Or, 18 to 19 years old and still attending elementary or secondary school full time, • Or are disabled and over 18 years old, with their disability having begun before age 22.
