Is My Grandchild Eligible For Benefits If My Husband And I Adopt Him?

Is my 13 yr old grandson eligible for benefits if my husband and I adopt him..We are his biological grandparents.

Hi,

Probably, assuming that either you or your husband (or both) are receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits.

Best, Jerry
