2-0811-10 Dependents<br />

10. Dependents. Augmented compensation is paid to a claimant with at least one dependent, including<br />

a spouse. Where only one dependent is claimed, and that person is a student, a child whose marriage has<br />

ended, a child incapable <strong>of</strong> self-support, or a parent, the CE must ensure that entitlement exists.<br />

a. Student Status. Compensation paid on behalf <strong>of</strong> an unmarried child which would otherwise<br />

be terminated at age 18 may continue if the child is a student pursuing a full-time course <strong>of</strong> study<br />

or training at an accredited institution. Such benefits may be paid for four years <strong>of</strong> education<br />

beyond the high school level, or until the beneficiary reaches age 23, whichever comes first.<br />

(1) A "year <strong>of</strong> education beyond the high school level" is defined as:<br />

(a) The 12-month period beginning the month after the child graduates from high<br />

school, if the child has indicated an intention to continue in school during the next<br />

regular session, and each successive 12-month period, provided that school<br />

attendance continues.<br />

(b) The 12-month period beginning on the date the child actually enters school to<br />

continue education, if the child has indicated that he or she will not attend during the<br />

next regular session, and each successive 12-month period, provided that<br />

attendance continues.<br />
