Benefits for children
If a child is getting benefits based on your work, there are important things you should know about his or her benefits:

When a child reaches age 18
— A child's benefits stop with the month before the child reaches age 18, unless the child is either disabled or is a full-time elementary or secondary school student.
— About five months before the child's 18th birthday, the person receiving the child's benefits will get a form explaining how benefits can continue.
— A child whose benefits stopped at age 18 can have them started again if he or she becomes disabled before reaching age 22 or becomes a full-time *elementary or secondary school student before reaching age 19.
