8. Can I get benefits for taking college courses?

No. At one time, SSA did pay benefits to college students, but the law changed in 1981. We now pay benefits only to students taking courses at grade 12 or below.
forgot to add, by calling Social Security Administration (SSA) through the number on their website or your nearest\local social security office they will tell you the reasons behind why social security does not allow college students to receive SSI\SSDI while going to college.
