Paying for College
15

<p>If your daughter is still under 18 and if her dad is collecting social security retirement, she may be able to receive SS too (and you can likely be the representative payee). Just thought I’d point it out in case you did not know about this potential source of money.</p>

<p>For example, if he receives $1000 per month in SS retirement, your daughter might be able to receive $500 monthly (50%) if she is his only child / dependent under age 18.</p>
