Me and my husband have legal guardianship over our granddaughter and he gets social security can she get a check
Hi,
The mere fact that you have legal guardianship of your granddaughter wouldn't make her eligible for child's benefits on your husband's Social Security record. In order for a grandchild to qualify for benefits on the record of a grandparent, the grandchild must either a) be adopted by the grandparent, or b) both of the grandchild's natural or adoptive parents must either be deceased or disabled (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0325.html).
Best, Jerry
