How do some people keep getting social security checks, even after their parents have died?

In certain circumstances, an individual who has never worked and has no other sources of income may still be eligible for a Social Security benefit if they are the child or dependent of someone who is receiving retirement or disability benefits. In certain circumstances, if a parent dies the child may be able to continue to receive benefits as long as they are unmarried and under age 16, or if they are age 16-19 and attend school full-time.
