When I took my SS at 66 - full age, in May - my son was a senior in high school. Although he turned 18 in March, he didn't graduate until June. I discovered that as my dependent child, he qualified to receive 1/2 my monthly benefit. Had I taken SS earlier, he would have gotten 1/2 of the monthly amount at that time through high school graduation. The money is expected to go towards the minor child's support. So he got two months worth, which was a nice check that went towards his college expenses.
