STUDENTS 18-22 getting social security checks should report changes in their earnings, school enrollment, and marital status to social security, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester.

More than 680,000 students 18 and over get monthly social security payments because a parent gets disability or retirement benefits or has died. Students can continue to get payments to age 22—or slightly beyond for undergraduates—as long as they remain full-time students and unmarried.

“Students getting checks should notify social security immediately if they marry, leave school, or start attending on a part-time basis so we can stop their monthly payments as required by law,” Bettendorf said.

Changes in total yearly earnings from part-time or temporary jobs can also affect social security payments to students, he said.
