Questions & Answers
I have children. Can I get benefits for them too?
Yes. If you are receiving disability insurance benefits, any children under the age of 18 or any children in high school and under the age of 22 are entitled to a benefit amount equal to half of your disability benefit amount. If your child is over the age of 18, unmarried and not in school, he/she may receive disability insurance benefits based on your earnings record if he/she has a disability that began before the age of 22.
Even if you do not personally qualify for any benefits, your child may qualify to receive Supplemental Security Income if he or she is under age 18 and disabled and you meet the income and asset requirements for Supplemental Security Income.
