You would need to talk to a lawyer in your state.

my mom died when i was six and my dad remarried within a year. I found out that for ten years my wicked step mother forged and cashed all the social security checks that were meant for me? I just found this out at 53 years of age. Can I sue her?

They will most likely pay through the end of High School, but that’s it. You will probably have to fill out the paperwork to get it extended till the end of High School. These rules need to be changed and brought up to current times. Probably hasn’t been changed for 40 or 50 years!

Do I understand you correctly that benefits end at 18 even though child is going to full time college and only has one parent b/c other parent died. My son now received SS survivor benefits per month and they are going to end when he turns 18? He was born 1994 and now plans to go to college but his benefits stop. That is crazy. So did your child’s benefits stop at 18 even though he was in college full time:

Doesn’t seem right that a child looses a parent and the Social Security benifit stops right when a child is 18 and heading to College. This is so expensive for parents, let alone one parent. Why do the benefits stop at 18 if they are going to College. It shouldn’t be this way! Most parents continue supporting their children to 21 and beyond if they are still in school. Somebody help me understand the logic behind stopping the benefit if a child is enrolled into college full time?

I am the custodial guardian to my niece since my sisters passing almost 2 yrs. ago. My other sister and her husband who are the trustee's of the estate and co-guardians but have little to no contact with my niece, filed for and recieve her S.S.I. checks. They have not forwarded any of those funds to me to assist in her support since December of 2009. Do I have any recourse?
