The SSA-1372-BK-FC serves as the primary form for developing and verifying a student's
full-time attendance at an educational institution outside the United States.
We send an SSA-1372-BK-FC to each child beneficiary who is outside the United States
3 months before he or she attains age 18. It explains the conditions under which benefits
can continue after age 18, and what he or she must do to pursue his or her claim for
benefits as a student or disabled child. We give the student this form at the time
of the application for child's benefits if the child:
-
•
meets the requirements for child's benefits; and
-
•
is at least age 17 years and 6 months (or will be at least that age when the claim
is processed).
