My daughters mother died last year when my daughter was 18. Her mother was embroiled in a nasty divorce/separation at the time and i feel he is getting her ss benefits. My daughter is now 19 and in school and i was wondering if there any ss benefits available. I looked on the website and it looks like when kids turn 18 there is nothing.
