Collecting Survivor Benefits While in School?

I am currently 17 and will be graduating around three months before my 18th birthday and I was wondering when do they stop my benefits or do they continue if I am a full-time student at college?

Call your local Social Security Office and make an appointment to talk to them. The way I have always understood it, the benefits stop when a person is no longer a minor. I have heard of some of them stopping when a person is 16 and some when they are 17.

Once upon a time, benefits continued through college; they no longer do that. Now, they usually stop when a person turns 18 or finishes high school, whichever comes first. I think there are a few cases where they may last longer, like a cognitive impairment or blindness, but I'm not sure.
