AS FAR AS HAVING CUSTODY OF YOUR GRANDSON, THAT'S GOOD BUT IN THE INFORMATION I HAVE, YOU WOULD NEED TO ADOPT HIM. MY GRANDMOTHER AND I ARE GOING THROUGH KIND OF LIKE THE SAME SITUATION YOU ARE. ONLY MY MOTHER (NOT REAL MOTHER) BUT MOTHER WHO HAS KEPT ME FOR 11 YEARS, IS GOING TO LET MY GRANDMOTHER ADOPT ME SO SHE CAN DRAW MONEY THROUGH SOCIAL SECURITY ON ME (RANG:$636.00-$1,000.00) A MONTH, AND BECAUSE I HAVE BECOME EMOTIONALY AND MENTALY GROWN TO MY GRANMOTHER. MY MOTHER HAS FULL CUSTODY NOW, BUT MY GRANMOTHER WILL SHORTLY. IN MY INFORMATION, IT SAYS:
A DEPENDENT GRANDCHILD OR STEPGRANDCHILD OF THE WORKER OR SPOUSE MAY QUALIFY FOR BENEFITS OR DIED; OR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WORKERS' PEROID OF DISABILITY WHICH CONTINUED UNTIL THE WORKER BECAME ENTITLED TO DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT INSURANCE BENIFITS OR DIED; OR THE GRANDCHILD WAS LEGALLY ADOPTED BY THE WORKER'S SURVIVING SPOUSE IN AN ADOPTION DECREED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION WITHIN THE U.S., AND THE GRANDCHILD'S NATURAL OR ADOPTING PARENT OR STEPPARENT WAS NOT LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD AND MAKING REGULAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CHILD'S SUPPORT AT THE TIME THE INSURED WORKER DIED. NOW, DEPENDENCY UPON GRANDPARENT: BEGUN LIVING WITH THE WORKER BEFORE THE GRANDCHILD BECAME 18 YEARS OLD; AND LIVED WITH THE WORKER IN THE U.S. AND RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE-HALF SUPPORT FROM THE WORKER: FOR THE YEAR BEFORE THE MONTH OF THE WORKER BECAME ENTITLED TO RETIREMENT OR DISABILITY INSURANCE BENEFITS OR DIED; OR IF THE WORKER HAD A PERIOD OF DISABILITY THAT LASTED UNTIL HE OR SHE BECAME ENTITLED TO BENEFITS OR DIED, FOR THE YEAR IMMEDIATLEY BEFORE THE MONTH IN WHICH THE PERIOD OF DISABILITY BEGAN. IF THE GRANDCHILD WAS BORN DURING THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD, THE WORKER MUST HAVE LIVED WITH AND PROVIDED AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF THE GRANDCHILD'S SUPPORT FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF THE GRANDCHILD'S BIRTH TO THE MONTH INDICATED ABOVE.
