There is a cap on the amount for which dependents are eligible. As previously mentioned, that amount is dependent upon how much you have contributed to Social Security over your time in the workforce. Your child must be unmarried to qualify. He cannot be older than 18, unless he is a student (students cannot be older than 20 to be eligible. ) Your dependents will not qualify as part of your benefits, if you collect Supplemental Security Income payments.
