Honestly, I had no idea this was allowed, so I have learned something today.
But I am a bit flabbergasted that a retiree (in his 60s at least, presumably, if he's getting SS, since there's no mention of him being disabled) has a 3-year-old that the taxpayers are helping support. Maybe I am the only one who finds this bizarre?

Naysayers and judgmental people = not my circus, not my monkeys.

It's often called viagra benefits, if you google it. It's well known benefit if you read Kiplingler retirement newsletter regularly.
Our young son receives $655 a month from Social Security for being the minor child of a retiree. We are supposed to spend that money on him (which we do), but we have been socking $200-$300 away in savings each month for him in his own account. When we fill out the yearly paper which shows how we spent the money, will we get ding-donged by Social Security for putting away $200-$300 a month into our son's savings account? (He cannot touch same until he turns 18...he is 3 right now).
Why does it seem there so many bogus posts lately?

Wow, what an insightful post.
OP, I really AM flabbergasted that this is allowed. Your husband is presumably in his 60s (or older) but you presumably are at least 20 years younger (actually just found a post where you said you are mid-40s), since the two of you have a 3-year-old. You really can't understand why some of us are puzzled that TAXPAYERS are supporting your 3-year-old for you?
Please note, I didn't suggest that you were doing anything illegal or even unethical -- I was just puzzled that THIS is how SS works.
Uhhh...ya'll aren't too nice. Do you have nothing better to do than to prowl and compare posts for coincidences? I was only asking a simple damn question and I get flamed. Yeah, that's REAL classy. Talk about trying to pull the splinter out of my eye WHEN SOME OF YA'LL HAVE A LOG IN YOUR OWN!!!!
