NAME OF CHILD BENEFICIARY TO WHOM THIS STATEMENT APPLIES
DATE CHILD ATTAINS AGE 18
YOUR BENEFITS WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP AT AGE 18 UNLESS:
●
You are a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (a secondary school is a school at or below the high school level), or
●
You qualify for childhood disability benefits.
Your benefits will end with the payment for the month before the month in which you attain age 18. You attain age 18 on the day before your 18th birthday. This is important when your birthday is on the first day of the month. For example, if your 18th birthday is June 1, you attain that age on May 31. If you are neither a full-time student nor disabled in May, benefits would not be payable for May. The last benefit check to which you would be entitled would be the one received in May, which represents your payment for April.
