Is there a benefit for students?

Yes. If you are 19 or younger, still in high school, and you have a disabled, retired, or deceased parent who worked, you would qualify for benefits on your parent's record, provided they worked enough to attain insured status. You will need their Social Security number, or their name and birth date to check on their insured status. You will also be required to prove relationship (birth certificate).

You don't have to be in high school if under 18.
