Adoption and Social Security Survivor Benefits?

I am raising my 8 year old sister-in-law. Her mother died when she was 4 years old. She is currently receiving Survivor's benefit pay. I love her like my own, and I want to adopt her. After I adopt her, will she still get benefits or will that go away because of the adoption?

You will have to talk to your local Social Security Office to get the correct answer.

You should go to your SS office for the correct answer. Since you seem to be receiving benefits - I assume you (?) have legal custody of this child? Adoption may change all of that.

You will need all SS numbers (yours, the child's and maybe the deceased mothers). Although all of this should be on file you will have to show photo ID as well. Just ask your questions and make up your mind later.
