How are Adult Child Benefits Terminated?

Benefits of a disabled adult child end for all the same reasons an adult beneficiary’s benefits end, e.g., end of disability, death.  In addition to terminating when a disabled adult child marries, benefits for a disabled adult child end if the insured person’s disability or retirement benefits end for a reason other than death.  An exception is : if the insured benefits are lost due to drug addiction or alcoholism that was found to be material to the insured’s disability.  For so long as the insured remains disabled, the disabled adult child is entitled to benefits. 20 C.F.R. §404.352(b)(5).
