Return of Social Security Benefit for college students of deceased parent/s

Return of the Social Security Benefits for college students of deceased parents.

Why is this important?

My petition is regarding the Social Security benefit for children when one or both parents has passed away. In 1981 this benefit changed for children after they completed high school! Before then, the benefit continued unitl the child turned 21 or 22. I was told when the government thought Social Security was going away, they made changes to many benefits, and this was one of them. As we see, Social Security is still here 31 years later! This benefit needs to be return for chldren wanting to go to college, who have one or no parents living to help support them through college. Financial Aid is not enough to get these children through college! They are accomulating mountains of student loans, when this benefit could help them offset some of their college expenses! Do the right thing and help these children attending college! Their parents worked years and paid into the system, and now they do not have the support they need to get a decent education! Please return this Benefit effective immediately!!!
