Children Under 18 – SSDI Benefits

SSDI Benefits for Children Under 18 This benefit program is decided based on the parents record that is receiving disability benefits or Social Security retirement. Survivors under the age of 18 may also qualify to receive benefits of the Social Security of the deceased who was receiving disability benefits or Social Security retirement. The living or deceased must be your parent, stepparent or adoptive parent. The benefits you receive will be paid based “on the record” of someone else’s (i.e., the parent, stepparent or adoptive parent) income, which is the insured employee who paid enough Social Security taxes to qualify for this benefit. You do not have to be disabled in order to qualify for this benefit. You can be the dependent of someone who is receiving benefits or the dependent of a deceased Social Security recipient. These benefits are available up to age 19 if the dependent is in school. For more information on how you can begin this process go to our online Free Case Evaluation.
