<prompt> Human: I am about to graduate high school with my EMT-B and am making preparations to move out after AEMT school is done this Summer. As ive been doing research on all my finances, I remembered I am getting social security checks. When I turned 18, I started getting social security checks for about 540 monthly. It gets put straight into the family account to help with bills since my disabled mom no longer receives benefits since im not 18, so I forgot about it until recently. At what age do these checks stop coming to me and will they stop if I claim independence once I move out? Thank you. Update: Thank you all for the concern. I found out it was some how due to my mothers disability and that they stop when I graduate high school.  <response>: It depends why youre getting SS Benefits. Are you receiving a check for a deceased parent, your own disability, or is it Supplemental Income?
