I got the benefits from my late husband transferred from me to my son. He is now 17 years old and still is in the 10th grade at high school. He will not finish high school until he is 19. Does he get the benefits until he is finished high school?

You will have to talk to your local SS Office to find out the right answer. I can't figure out why you would have done that to begin with. I would think you would need the money to help with his support. Also wasn't he getting benefits too?
In most States the answer is until he finishes school. Find out what your state does by calling them.
Only the SS office can really tell you the correct answers.
Why did you transfer benefits to your son?
How is he using this money?
Is he still living at home?
Did he have problems at school to still be in a lower grade?
A child of 17 may not be truly capable of handling this amount of money and may cause him more trouble than good.
It is very difficult to understand why you made this change but many people may think you did not understand why YOU were receiving the benefit check.
It may be possible to change this so maybe when you ask questions about how long (or age) then it appears that would be a very good question to ask also.
