Extend social security survivor death benefits to continue for children to age 21 if in college

Created by L.A. on February 08, 2015

In 1981, the Reagan Administration phased out SS survivor benefits for children who have lost a parent from age 21 (if in college) to age 18 (19 if the child is still in a secondary school). Obama's commitment to insure the affordability of college education for all American children should make repealing this phase-out a top priority. Single parent households are suffering as a result of this, making harder to pay for Children to attend college.
