They are taking away social security from my mom who is still a widow can they do this?

My mom is 52 and she received a letter from Social Security saying because I am turning 16 in October they are stopping her Social Security benefits. Can they do this? She is still a widow. I am also wondering she recently bought another house, is this affecting her Social Security? The letter says they will continue my benefits until I am 18. Why are they taking it away from her though? What should I do??? ='(

Oh and does the fact my mom is a resident have anything to do with this?????

Please answer only if you know for sure!

She was receiving money for me and her, she got one check for me and another for her.

Perhaps you are no longer considered a "dependent"? Why don't you call the local Soc. Sec. office and find out.

The money your mother has been receiving is for you - it is not her pension.

She will not be able to get a widow's pension until she is 60, assuming she does not or has not remarried by then.

When she started receiving it, she was told it was for maintaining a home for you and it would stop when you turn 18. If you go to college full time, your family could still receive it, but you need to talk to Social Security, if that is the case. You will have to provide proof.
