Ruth: Possibly. You should file. Steady work at a low income level makes for a disability claim that is sometimes difficult, but not impossible. Talk to a lawyer; me if you live close by. File, and as the hearing approaches, the situation may clarify itself. Keep a SS case going at all times. Remember that you must work, or file a claim, or both, but not neither. Good luck.

Sally: The short answer is, "no," but that is highly misleading.

Your daughter should go down to the Administration and file for the child's benefits the law says she is due. She can get benefits for the months that you are entitled, if during those months she was either under 18, or else 18 and going to high school full time.

Once she becomes an adult, however, past due money goes to her instead of you, unless you can prove she is the sort of person who must have a representative payee.
