1. Staying in school pays for children getting benefits
Children are entitled to receive family benefits under certain circumstances if a parent is getting retirement or disability benefits. The child must be unmarried and generally has to be younger than 18 to get payments. However, those who are still in high school get an extra couple of years to keep getting Social Security. That exception applies only to 18- or 19-year-olds, though, so staying in school forever isn’t the right move.
