Can I get my mother's Social Security? She passed and I'm 19, but I'm in college? My second question is, can my step dad receive my brother's SSI when he doesn't live with him and he's not his dad?

You will have to go to your SS office for answers to your questions.
However - the SS office will not give you information concerning anyone else so your brother will have to go (with you?) to get his answer. If your brother is under 18 then usually his guardian would receive the benefits for him. Is there someone else who takes care of your brother? Guardianship usually has to be proven so he should look into this but an underage child cannot usually receive the benefits themselves unless they prove they are providing for their own support.
