Answer 1

Been through this one myself. I received SSDI for my son when he was a minor. He was only allowed to make a certain amount per month before his benefits would be affected. At the time,it was $700.00 a month,but it may have gone up by now. After you  go over the amount you may earn,they will take away $1.00 for every $2.00 you make over the limit from the SS check.

SS benefits for a minor end at age 18 or the month you graduate from HS if you have already turned 18.

Answer 2

No.  The check is his.  What he does with it is up to him.

Answer 3

not as long as you remain in school you will still get your check until you are 23
