Continuing SS Benefits After 19

Jane Burigsay, Social Security Public Affairs Specialist in Hawai‘i | May 26, 2019 | June - July 2019, Programs & Services

My child who gets Social Security will be attending his last year of high school in the fall. He turns 19 in a few months. Do I need to fill out a form for his benefits to continue? Yes. You should receive a SSA-1372-BK form in the mail about three months before your son’s birthday. Your son needs to complete the form and take it to his school’s office for certification.
