- A. Policy for child-in-care requirements
- A claimant for mother's/father's, surviving divorced mother's/father's, or spouse’s (under age 62) benefits must have in-care an entitled child of the deceased NH. In order to receive an unreduced benefit, a spouse age 62 to full retirement age (FRA) must have a child of the NH in their care. The in-care child must meet all of the following:
- * be entitled to a child’s insurance benefit,
- * meet the conditions for entitlement, (For mother's/father's or spouse’s (age 62 to FRA) benefits, the child may be entitled on any earnings record (E/R). For surviving divorced mother's/father's and spouse’s benefits (under age 62), the child must be entitled on the NH's E/R.)
- * meet the relationship requirements to be considered a child of the deceased NH; and
- * be under age 16 (age 18 prior to 9/81) or, be disabled.
- Child-in-care also applies when the child was entitled to childhood disability benefits (CDB) prior to age 22 termination and became re-entitled to a new period of disability as a CDB after age 22.
- REMINDER: If the situations in RS 00208.001D apply, there is no entitlement.
- NOTE: Use the DEPENDENT CHILD IN CARE (DCIC) common screen to collect data for each child in the care of a child-in-care beneficiary

- A mother/father must have in-care an entitled child of the NH when:
- * he or she files an application for benefits; or
