<p>My family receives social security money every month because my mom died. It's actually addressed in the mail to us (her children) and not my dad. Each of us under 18 recieves a certain amount every month. Is this qualified as Supplemental Security Income? Would I answer "YES" to this question when registering for CSS? "Do either of the student's parents receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?"</p>
<p>I believe those are actually Social Security Survivor's Benefits, not SSI (which is for people with disabilities who cannot work). The answer to the SSI question is No, but the answer to the question about whether you receive Social Security benefits is Yes.</p>
