What is one requirement for a dependent child to receive Auxiliary Benefits?

For a dependent child to qualify for Auxiliary Benefits under Social Security, one of the key requirements is that the child must be unmarried, under 18 years old, and a full-time student. This provision is designed to provide financial support to children who are still in the education system and reliant on their parents for support.

Being unmarried ensures that the child is still dependent on their parents, while being under 18 establishes their status as a minor who can receive these benefits. Additionally, full-time student status indicates that the child is actively engaged in education, further reinforcing their dependency. This combination of criteria ensures that Auxiliary Benefits are directed toward those children who are still in a formative stage of life and require financial assistance from their parents or guardians.
