I have Social security benefits for a child. Do I add that amount to my Social sewcurity benefits

[just406-829]

We both have survivor benefits. Do I claim the amount that I receive in her name or only the amount I receive myself?

Only the amount you receive yourself.  The SSA-1099 that the child receives will have their Social Security number in box 2 of the form.  If the child has no other income they do not report the SS benefits received on a tax return.
