I am almost 20. My dad died when I was 4 and I received my benefits till I turned 18. if I go back to school before I turn 23 could I reapply for my survivor benefits?

To get the correct answer you have to call your local Social Security Office and talk to them. I have always been under the assumption that the cut off age was 18, period. It is kind of taken for granted when a person reaches age 18 they should be able to part way take care of themselves. There are all kinds of young people going to school that have never had anything like suvivor's benefits.
I say yes, as long as your are in school. But again as it was suggested go to your Social Security office and find out the truth of the matter. After all the folks there work for all of us including you as a young adult.
