Can my dependent draw from my social security
My nice signed custody of my great nephew over to me when he was around 6 months old. We never went to court. He is now 13 years old. Her other three children are going to get a check because she is now disabled. She informed me ,the Social Sercurity office says he will not, because he lives with me I have always been his only source of financial support. I've never asked for or received child support. I have no other children. It is just me and him. Does this mean, he can draw off my social sercurity if I die or become disabled?
