A) Yes, your 11-year-old daughter may be eligible for family social security benefits if you are receiving retirement or disability benefits. However, the amount of benefits she can receive depends on your earnings history and the number of other family members who may be eligible for benefits.

To find out if your daughter is eligible and how much she may receive, you can contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or visit their website:
