To my friends that know social security laws. Question is if TP receives ss$ for himself (age 63) and the kids being under 18, in school, and dependent on TP's return and TP earns more than the allowance. I realize TP may have to pay back SS. Does TP have to also pay back what the kids got?

Yes
I have a book on SS and Med care. Under Reduced and non payment situations it says "a child's benefits are not payable or are only partly payable when the parent's benefits are not payable because the parent is under 70. works and earns more than the exempt amount. -

Missing info.....
see what kathyc2 replied because it depends on more facts (e.g., why are the children receiving benefits?) then you posted. Also, there are many posts covering Social Security issues on this site and can be found by doing a search.Always cite your source for support to defend your opinionComment

You might want to research on the SSA website. A quick look seems to limit a child's benefit to half of the parent's full-retirement benefit. But, your client began drawing benefits early. Don't know if that means that the child's benefit is reduced if parent's is reduced and then reduced again if parent must pay back. Parent could visit his local SS office to get the details for his specific family situation. Or, if parent has established an account on the SSA website, he can log in to get the amounts.Last edited by Lion; 01-21-2017, 12:07 PM.Comment
