Probably not at all. If you have a child and are drawing Social
Security Disability, that child can also draw a small check; but the
total of your checks cannot exceed your family maximum. And, as a
practical matter, if you are drawing SSI, that means your Social
Security check is small; and when it is, your family maximum is often
very small, too. But after the child is born, please do go apply for
benefits for the child, to be sure. |

I
am disabled and I am on SSI. I am about to loose state aid for my kids
because I am sending them to private school. Is there any benefits that
my children are entitled to from SSI because I am disabled?
Reply by Paul I am sorry; no. Only for Social Security Disability. |

Usually,
to get a check for the children of the disabled, the person who wants
to receive that check needs to go down to the local office and file for
the dependant, after the favorable decison. A few months later that the
child's representative should get a check, if the child is otherwise
entitled.
He should be entitled if his disabled or retired
parent is qualified for Social Security Disability or Retirement on his
or her own record, and if the disabled person's earnings were large
enough.
Usually the appropriate person to go is the person
who has custody of the child. There are exceptions. For example, there
are some people who give good care, but cannot handle money. |

I am sorry; there is no check for children of the disabled under the
SSI program; there is under the Social Security program. But you have
to have worked to qualify for Social Security under your own record.

I have a friend that lives in Georgia,, She has 3 small children &
the father of the children draws S.S.I. She was never married to their
father & He doesnt live in there house.. My question is why isnt
she able to get a check for her children? He was suppose to pay child
support before he started getting his check. |

There are two disability programs that the Social Security
Administration administers. Under the Social Security Disability
program, the minor child of a disabled worker, or the child who is 19
and going full time to high school, gets a benefit check that is a
certain percentage of the worker's check.
Under the SSI
program, which is for people who have little income or resorces, and
who have not worked enough to qualify for enough Social Security
Disability to get by, there is no check that is payable to the child.
Two
things you might check on for her: one, many people who think they are
drawing SSI are actually drawing Social Security Disability. To be
sure, your friend might go to the local office of the Administration
and ask. Don't trust him to tell you!
Second, there is a
possibility that in some states a disabled individual who is drawing
SSI might be ordered to pay child support. I cannot say whether or not
this might be so in Georgia.
Both of these approaches are difficult.
Take care and good luck. |

mental disability, he is only 35 and has worked very little before we
have an 11 year old son and I live in North Carolina, since my son has

Gina, let me ask your question two different ways and give two answers:
If
a man is disabled, can his child also draw a check? Answer: If the
father has had enough earnings to qualify for Social Security
Disability, and if the child can establish paternity and actual or
presumed dependency, yes he can. You ought to file at the local office;
if there is some problem, they will let you know. If there is a problem
talk to an attorney.
Question two: If the child is also
disabled, can he draw a check? Perhaps he can draw SSI if his
impairment is severe enough and if his family income is not too high. |

The answer to this question is, sort of, may be. If a parent is
deceased, the person responsible for the child should contact the
Administration. There are often benefits available for that child, if
the parent has worked enough.
But this would not be because he drew SSI; it would be because he is deceased. |

If you were to receive a lump sum from an accident and declared
permantely disabled,will your social secuirty check be less and , and
if you are divorced will your dependent child's support be taken out of
your check or will she receive a separate social security check? |

My son is 12 years old. Since he was about 4 years old he has had
problems with understanding and tics. All through school he has had
learning disabilities and has been in special education classes since
1st grade. He is now in the 7th and they think he may have aspergers
syndrome and tourettes syndrome. His father, which I am currently
divorced from, also had these problems all his life and was also in
special education classes throughout school. He is now receiving social
security disablity benefits for these conditions. I was wondering if my
son is medically evaluated with the aspergers and tourettes syndromes
and since his father is already receiving benefits, can my son be
signed up for them also? Should he be signed up under his father or by
himself? Will it affect his chances since we are currently divorced and
I am remarried? Is aspergers and tourettes cause for disablement? |

They certainly can be a basis for disability. It depends on their severity.
If
your son's father is drawing Social Security Disability benefits, his
minor son might be entitled to a check whether he is disabled or not.
If
your son's father is drawing SSI or a very low Social Security
disability check, or if he was born outside marriage and was never
dependent on his father, or in several other circumstances, he might
not be able to draw a check base on his father's record.
If your son is in fact disabled, and the family income is low enough, he might be able to qualify for SSI.
Of course you know what I say about hiring an attorney. |

RoyJohn, you probably did not get benefits for your family because you
did not go down to the local Social Security office right after you got
your check to ask for benefits for them. It is important to do this.
It often takes several months after you ask to get a lump sum check.
If
they it takes longer than that, you can try two things: You can contact
your congressman or senator; that often helps speed up things. If that
doesn't work, you can hire a lawyer to bring what is called a mandamus
to order the benefits paid.
It is easier to bring a mandamus action if you can prove that you contacted them several times.
Take care and good luck. |

My mother and father are divorced, and when I was a child, my mother
began receiving SS disability payments in my name from my father's
disability. This year, my tax return was applied against an outstanding
debt of $8,000 because SS determined my father is not actually
disabled. I never received a dime of this money, and was still a minor
when the last payment was received by my mother. Also, this debt is
over 12 years old and I have never heard anything about it until now. I
have filed my taxes every year and have gotten a refund each year. Am I
liable for my parent's overpayments that they put in my name? |

I hate to admit that I do not know the answer to that question. You

post.
It certainly does not seem fair; but I know that the
Administration claims the right to recover overpayments from family in
certain situations. Whether they can legally do so is another question.

Yup, a definite answer usually requires a series of questions and answers, because the subject is so complex.
Take
your papers down to the local office and ask for children's benefits.
If they live with someone else, usually the SSA prefers to pay the
custodian, though that is not a hard and fast rule.
For your
kids to draw, you need to have earned enough to have a substantial
check yourself, and they need to be under 18, or under 19 and going to
high school.
Your kids need to have been dependant on you.
But they are presumed dependant on you if you are married to their mom
and living with them. There is a lot more to the dependency question. |

You should get his earnings record and take it to an attorney to
review. At 19, it takes very little work to earn enough quarters, or
credits, for your son to be eligible. |

That is an excellent question. A stepchild can get benefits if they can
prove they were dependent on the stepparent during the right times. Go
ahead and apply for them, and if that doesn't work, consult with an
attorney. Your children might or might not qualify, but it is worth
looking in to. |

Rebecca: The short answer is, "no," but adoptive parents are entitled
to benefits. Normally the adoption must take place before you become
disabled or retire, but there is an exception for kids who have been
primarily supported by their grandparents. You might be able to adopt,
and then get benefits for them. Sit down with an experienced SS lawyer
and find out. |

Shassan: If you are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits,
your minor children are entitled to a small check, too. If your
benefits are very small, their check will be small or nonexistent. If
your check is larger, it will be larger, too. Their check will begin
whenever yours does.
If you are successful, you should go back down to the Administration, and ask them to start the children's checks. |

I am a recently retired disabled police officer. I recently was
approved for ssdi. At present I am going through a very messy
divorce/custody case. I left my wife after she refused to cease her
abuse of drugs. She has overdosed at least a dozen times during our
five yr. marriage. Our son has overdosed as well while in her care and
has been injured while in her care. All incidents are documented
(police/hosp. reports). Believe it or not she may still get custody of
our son (MD is a mom state). My son is entitled to substantial benefits
(monthly and retropay) from soc. sec.. Should my wife get primary
custody these monies will most certainly be her free ticket to ride.
She'll blow (literally and figuratively) through the retro and monthly
payments in no time. My son will be lucky to get an outfit from k-mart
each month. The local soc. sec. office claimed to have safeguards in
place - big joke - half hr.intervies with parent who has kid-no drug
testing, home visits, etc. It is unbelievable to me that she might get
away with this. I want a representative payee established to properly
dole out the money for legitimate purposes for my son. SS says it can't
be done. Can that really be true?
Also, if I father a new child
will that child born after my disability be eligable for benefits as
well? (Sorry for the length of my inquiries.)

Tom, sorry; I missed this post. I hope things came out ok. In my
experience, as a practical matter, the Administration almost always
makes the custodial parent the representative payee over a child's
check. And, to be fair to them, 96% of the time this is the best thing
to do. But sometimes not; and though there are all sorts of rules about
protecting the child, as a practical matter it is difficult to get them
to do anything.
Of course the ideal solution is to win
custody of the child in state court and get representative payee status
yourself. But even if you lose the custody battle, you can also apply
to be made representative payee yourself before the Administration, and
if denied appeal the decision, just like you would a decision that you
are not disabled. I do not know how this would come out; I have limited
experience with such appeals. But if it was my kid I would do it.
Kids born after share the benefits available under your record. |

Ms.
Kanski, you ask important questions. If you have child by someone you
are not now living with, and he files for disability, there are three
common scenarios:
1. He is a great fellow who is truly disabled
and will let you know right when he gets his benefits. That is the most
common scenario, but not the only one.
2. He is not disabled, but
is pursuing a disability claim to get out of child support. Some people
let this scam run for years. If this is a possibility, demand all his
medical records showing the proof that he is disabled. Be aware that
there are often some records that make someone look disabled, and
others that make him look able to work. Be sure to get all the records.
If he won't give them to you, talk to a local Family Court lawyer and
consider hauling him in to Family Court and getting the court to make
him give you all his medical records. If they say "not disabled," show
that to the Family Court and ask them to make pay up or serve time. If
you are broke, in some jurisdictions legal aid might do this.
3.
Some folks are really disabled, but will try to rip you off by not
telling you that they have won their case, and maybe filing for the
child's check themselves. Two suggestions: Talk to a family court
lawyer about getting some kind of order from the family court requiring
him to give you notice. The advantage of this is that, around here
anyway, Family Courts do not hesitate in throwing people in jail for
violating their orders. You can also go down to the local Social
Security office about once every 3-6 months and apply for your child's
benefits. |

Thank you very much for your prompt and honest answers. But I do have a
few more questions. So are you saying that it is possible that he is
getting checks for her at his home address and possibly keeping them?
If his disability was approved, wouldn't they send the checks to us
directly? Wouldn't he be required to provide them with our address? And
if he was approved for the disability,would the check she would receive
be the full amount of his weekly child support obligation or just a
small percentage?
There is not a chance he will turn over medical
files to me. And being an interstate case,wouldn't it be quite
difficult to get them? The child support issue alone has been difficult
being this is an interstate case. Our Friend of the Court here is not
very good in following through.
And my one last question is that
couldn't I contact Social Security and point blank ask them if he was
receiving anything? Wouldn't they be required to tell me or is it
considered confidential information? Thank you very much! |

That is a possibility.

Only if he were truthful about where his child is living.
Wouldn't he be required to provide them with our address?
He might be required to; I am not sure, but he certainly can lie about it.
And
if he was approved for the disability,would the check she would receive
be the full amount of his weekly child support obligation or just a
small percentage?
It would be 50% of the amount of his
check; but all the check of each child is reduced so that the total of
all checks does not exceed the "family maximum," which varies,
depending on how much he earned. It could be $600, it could be $0. It
is not tied to the amount of child support he is ordered to pay.
There
is not a chance he will turn over medical files to me. And being an
interstate case,wouldn't it be quite difficult to get them?
Yes difficult. I did not realize it was an interstate case. It is not impossible.
The
child support issue alone has been difficult being this is an
interstate case. Our Friend of the Court here is not very good in
following through.
Sorry. If you cannot afford to hire your
own lawyer in the state where he lives, try being very plesant to the
Friend of the Court; but very very persistent.
And my one
last question is that couldn't I contact Social Security and point
blank ask them if he was receiving anything? Wouldn't they be required
to tell me or is it considered confidential information?
I
am just about positive you can go down and apply for the benefits for
her. In allowing or denying her, they will have to tell you whether he
is drawing. Not quite positive about this; let us know if it works.
Thank you very much!
Good luck. |

My daughters father receives social secruity and SSI(he recieves one
from his father dying and one for being mentally disabled..im not sure
which one is which but he recieves both.)Anyways my question is, is my
daughter intitled to a check of her own or a check that she could get
under her fathers name. He is 25 and has only been working since he was
21 off and on...he'll work for 2 months then quit because he says he
doesnt want social secruity to find out hes working and making money.
We have been split up for 6 months and i havent gotten anything from
him, and he says if he has to pay child support he will never work
again. Is there anything i can do about this? To be completly honest im
not even sure if hes completely disabled because i have been with him
when he has been to the doctor and the doctor always asks him if hes
working and why he still has a check. He's been getting a check since
he was 2, his mother put him and his 3 siblings on checking including
herself. Anyways is there anything i can do being im supporting her all
on my own with no help from him? |

If
your daughter's father gets a check based on his own earnings record,
his kids might be entitled to a check. If he does not have an earnings
record, he will not get this sort of check.
If he is getting SSI, his kids will not get a check.
If
he is getting benefits as a child of a deceased wagearner, and if he
became disabled before age 21, which it sounds like he is, his kids
will not get a check.
There is the separate question of
whether you can get child support in Family Court. This is a state law
question, and I cannot give you a definite answer, but if I were you I
would talk to a local lawyer or legal aid about getting this. |

I
ama little confused about spouse/family benefits. I am applying for
social security diability. My record shows that my payment will be
about $1,600 and the family maziumu is about $2,500. I iknow that I
would get the $1,600 regardless (if approved). Quesiton 1 - do my wife
and kids get the full $2.500 or the difference ($900) split between
them? Question 2 - I have a wife and three minor children. As one child
turns 18 does the family amount stay the same with the remaining

Please allow me to correct the many misspelled words for clarity.
I
am a little confused about spouse/family benefits. I am applying for
social security diability. My record shows that my payment will be
about $1,600 and the family maximum is about $2,500. I know that I
would get the $1,600 regardless (if approved). Quesiton 1 - do my wife
and kids get the full $2.500 or the difference ($900) split between
them? Question 2 - I have a wife and three minor children. As one child
turns 18 does the family amount stay the same with the remaining
kids/wife receiving higher individual amounts? Question 3 - if my wife
is off and I only have one child under 18 does he receive the entire
family amount? Thnaks for hopefully clearing up a very muddy matter. |

Hi, Paul. I've tried posting several times but can never find my original post or your reply so please bear with me...
I'm
44 and have a high school diploma. I was a route salesman for a snack
company for the past 12 years up until 2 years ago when my orthopedic
surgeon placed me on long term disability. Being a route
salesman/vendor is all I have ever done.
Two years ago, I was
treated for osteoarthritis of the knee without success and now my only
option is a total knee replacement. I also need to have my 'good' knee
scoped and the pain in both knees is constant and I can never predict
when they'll buckle on me. In May '04, I was experiencing dibilitating
pain in my lower back and extremeties and diagnosed with a herniated
disk at L4-5. After no success with two epidurals and electrolysis,
surgery was performed last week. It's too early to say how effective
the microdiscectomy is at this time. The latest diagnosis is advanced
degenerative disc disease and changes, compressions at several levels
and after I heal from this surgery, I'll need two fusions at the
cervical level. I've had 3 MRI's with two of them on the back. The dr.
also indicated that I'm at 'high risk' for two herniations above and
below the L4-5 levels.
I had applied for SSDI back in May, 02
when I was originally placed on LTD for my knee and denied. I haven't
been able to work in two years. Now I've applied again. This time SSDI
has contacted me requesting additional information (I didn't receive
that request the first time).
Unfortunately, the neurosurgeon
who performed my operation says he can't include the 'high risk'
statement in his post-op report because it is subjective (although
clearly supported by the MRI). Here are some questions I have:
1. What do you think my chances are of being awarded SSDI this time?
2.
The predicted amount of monthly benefit is roughly $1,288.00. I have 3
children, 17 (graduated from high school), 15 yrs. and 3 yrs. What type
of benefit amount could they possibly receive?
3. My wife makes a
significant income as a speech therapist outside the home. Does that
mean she would not qualify for spouse benefits?
4. If awarded SSDI, how far back could they go with payments?
Thanks so much for your help! |

Well,
I found the answer for questions 2 and 3 from a friend who just
received an award for SSDI. He had to apply twice and did not use a
lawyer. Guess it was one of those rare cases...
My children should receive about 1/2 of my benefit with each getting a check of about $214.00
My wife will not qualify for mother's benefits.
Paul,
when offering an opinion for my case, I failed to mention that I was
told by SSDI people to include EVERYTHING - even an 'ingrown toenail'.
So, I listed all the medications and other conditions which are:
hypertension, high cholesterol, diet controlled diabetes, and
depression. So, now what do you think? BTW, I'm headed back to the dr.
this afternoon. Still in too much pain and it looks like the incision
from surgery is infected. Will this never end?! Thanks! |

Hi, Paul. I've tried posting several times but can never find my original post or your reply so please bear with me...
Sorry; that's often a problem; search on your own name.
1. What do you think my chances are of being awarded SSDI this time?
You certainly have a good shot at it. Be sure you are going to a doc
who will help. And I would hire an attorney and keep appealing. LTD
generally uses a tougher standard after 2 years, and they can simply
stop paying a check and say, "sue us," so you need to get on Social
Security if you can't work. If you have been turned down once, which
you have, you certainly should get a lawyer.
2. The predicted
amount of monthly benefit is roughly $1,288.00. I have 3 children, 17
(graduated from high school), 15 yrs. and 3 yrs. What type of benefit
amount could they possibly receive?
EACH child gets 1/2 of
your benefit amount; but then the entire family is limited to the
"family maximum" which varies depending on your benefit amount. As a
wild guess, you and the kids together would probably get something less
than $2,000.
3. My wife makes a significant income as a
speech therapist outside the home. Does that mean she would not qualify
for spouse benefits?
Almost certainly not; her benefits are
regulated exactly like those of someone between 62 and 65 with
earnings. But she should not cut back to get benefits. The two kids
will exhaust the family maximum, so that even if she quit work the
total to the family would not increase.
4. If awarded SSDI, how far back could they go with payments?
Whichever is later, 5 months after you became disabled, or a year before your application.
Which application? You can certainly use your present one. If you are
lucky your judge will re-open your old one, since it has not been 4
years (It would be 2 if you had an SSI claim); but if he does not it is
hard to appeal
5. Most LTD policies reduce benefits once you
start getting Social Security, and want a bunch of money back, but it
is very important that you file anyway, for reasons set out in detail
on the site under that topic. |

I
am confused,I am 35 years old,married with 4 children. When I was about
23 I started having health problems and started recieving SSI
disability because I have Epilepsy. Back then I was told that my
children would only recieve $96.00 per month from my SSI and with 4
kids it is a struggle. That's not per child,but for all 4 together. I
don't get any medical benefits(only a part A only Medicare card that is
only useful for over night stays in the hospital)I met a man who told
me that he gets SSI also,but each of his kids recieve about $400.00
each per month because of his SSI. Should my children be receiving more
than this and should I not be getting some sort of medical card because
of my disability? Thank you,Jimmy Ray Wix,Franklin,Ky |

You
say that you are drawing SSI, but I will assume that you are drawing
Social Security disability, because you must get some sort of Social
Security check in order to get a check for your kids.
The
amount of Social Security disability benefits you and your children get
is based on your earnings. If they are low, your check will be low,
too, and so will your kids' checks. |

hi,
i was just awarded my ssd and will be getting my lump sum. i have 3
kids who were under 18 when i became unable to work in 2001 that are
now 18 and over. i had it very hard raising them without my paycheck.i
was told by someone that the checks that are awarded for them for the
time they were 18 and under (and still living under my roof and while i
was paying all the bills) would go to them. they are very young and
immature- is this true and if so can they be put in a trust at my
request? thanks susie |

You
were told correctly. The check will go to them if you do nothing about
it. At 18 we are treated as adults, absent some showing of
incompetence. That is not a good idea if you ask me, but it is the law.
If you can show to the Socail Security Administration that
someone 18 or 81 cannot handle his own check, you can get a
representative payee appointed. |

if the child is 16 and not in school and not living with parents is the child qualified to receive a payment
Reply by Paul Let me restate the question to be sure I understand it:
If
I am disabled and drawing Social Security Disability, or retired, and I
have a 16 year old who is in fact dependant on me, can that child draw
a check off of my record?
The answer to that question is yes.
It is irrelevant that the child is not living with you. It is
irrelevant that the child is not going to school, but that would matter
if the child was 19. In that case the child has to be going to high
school. |

If he continues to be disabled, yes. The benefit that is cut off is the

Hi
I have a few questions, but 1st a little background. We are in North
Carolina My husband (now) and I were together 8 years before we got
married. We have one child together. I have 2 from a previous disaster
(marriage). When he was diagnosed with Terminal Cancer 2 yrs ago. I
have filed for his diability and he was approved along with our
youngest. The SS admin. said my oldest 2 children could draw from thier
*dad* once we were married one calendar year and the income would
increase to the maxuim benefit. Ok so this past june was one year. We I
called to file for them they said No. They (all 3 children) would draw
the same 518 split 3 ways. No increase until after he dies. then the
older 2 will get a check. Can someone PLEASE help me. Scrappingqueen@aol.com

I hate to say it, but I think they are right.
I
assume that all your children are minors, that your current husband is
the one with cancer, that he was the stepfather of the 2, and that he
provided more than half their support.
Theoretically the
dependents can each get up to 1/2 his benefit amount if he is disabled,
and 3/4 of it, each, if he is deceased. But the practical limit is
usually the family maximum, which is a figure that is calculated in a
complex way. It is usually pretty close to the amount of the disabled
person's check if his check is around $500 or less, and maybe around
$2,000 if his check is as much as $1,000. The disabled person and all
dependents, taken together, can draw, in total, only the family
maximum.
Again, theoretically, you might be able to get a check as those children's mother, if you don't have an income yourself.
With
as many dependents as you have, at your benefit amount, as a practical
matter both while he is alive and after, the family will probably draw
in total about the same amount - the family maximum. |

Can
Group LTD carrier offset total amount of SSA benefits for primary as
well as dependent child's benefits without there being a threshold
applied for example allowed to receive 75% or 80% of pre-disability
salary? 42USC424 statutes provides that where an individual receives
both SSDI and worker compensation or public disability ensures sum of
DIB benefits do not exceed 80% of pre-disability earnings. Just how
valid is this? |

42 USC Sec. 424 does not apply to LTD. The LTD carrier can do whatever the LTD policy says it can do; check your policy. |

I
have a son who's dad is receiving SSI. I have been to court and the
judge determined that if my son was to get any type of support it would
have to be voluntarily given from his dad. In other words, his father
didn't have to give any money from his SSI check. In spite of my
efforts...my son gets nothing from his dad! Yet and still, his father
continues to impregnate different women. My son has nine other siblings
by his dad; another girl is pregnant carrying his child. Is there a law
that doesn't condone this irresponsibility...I mean why keep making
children if you can not afford to support them...disable or what have
you? Am I making sense? |

There certainly should be. All I know about is Social Security and your question goes beyond it.
There
are states and judges that will order a father who is drawing SSI to
pay child support. Tell him to try fathering a child in South Carolina
and see what happens. |

I
am 18 years old, attending my first year of college. My parents have
been divorced since right after I was born, and since even before then
my father has been disabled. He didn't file for social security
benefits until a few months ago, when I also had to sign paperwork.
Today I received a check in the mail for his disability. Is this back
pay? I really don't understand why I got the check since I'm neither a
minor nor a high school student anymore. And they didn't give me a
letter or anything, just an envelope with a check in it. Can you tell
me if this was a one time thing (it was only $2000.00)? |

Probably,
though that is a guess. To be sure, call the lawyer who handled the
case, if there is one. If not, get all the notices from your dad and
try to piece them together, or go down to the Administration.
The
general rule is that if a worker is entitled to a check for a month,
and he has paid enough in, his minor kids, that is, kids under 18, are
entitled to a check for that month, too. If they don't get around to
paying this check until you grow up, then you get it sent to you
directly.
A child who is 18 can also get a check if she is
going to high school. If you don't prove it, they will assume you were
not going to school and stop the check when you turned 18.
If they calculated it wrong, you have 60 days to appeal the decision.
60
days from what? Good question! A lot of times they think they sent you
a notice, it never comes, but it is difficult to prove it didn't, so if
you are not sure, get right down there. |

A. If he has worked enough to be eligible for Social Security Disability, and has earned a substantial amount of money, yes.
Q.
The second question is there anything out there for me after I reach
the age of 19 and am a full-time college student and have no income?
A.
Not from the Social Security program unless you are disabled. You must
be disabled or a full time high school student if you are 18 in order
to draw off of your parents. |

The short answer is, "no," but that is misleading.
Minors do not get checks of any sort from the Administration.
They
have to have a "representative payee" who gets any check they are due.
The payee is supposed to save or spend it for their benefit, and you
can complain to the Administration if the payee does not; try to get
the money spent properly, and try to get the payee changed.
The child of a disabled person might or might not be entitled to a check sent, for their benefit, to a representative payee.
If your mother is getting SSI, there is no check due to you through a payee or otherwise.
If
your mother is getting a Social Security Disability check, or for that
matter a retirement check, and her check is small, you are due no
check.
If it is larger, you might be entitled to have a check paid to a representative payee for you.
The Administration usually, but does not always, select your custodal parent to be your representative payee.
Once you turn 18 you are no longer a minor, and you can have any check you are due paid directly to you.
If
you are disabled yourself, you can continue getting checks indefinitely
on your mother's record. (or if you become disabled before age 22). If
not, your right to benefits on her record usually ends when you turn
18, unless you are going to high school full time, in which case you
can draw till you stop going or turn 19. |

like major depression which i had since 1998 this time i have more
proof from my doctors and their doctors they both gave me a gaf score
of 50. do this seems like i have a chance of getting the disability or
not. my medical conditions are head contusion, rheumatoid arthritis,
carpal tunnel, scoliosis, torn rotator cuff, hematomas, mitral valve
prolapse, an miniscus tear in my knee, colapsed three times on the job,
and body retains fluid. i worked as an nurse. for 15 years. also i have

You
certainly sound like you have problems to me, but I would guess that
the evidence before the Administration is not clear. If you are denied
again you should hire an attorney and let her help you figure out what
is missing from the record, or what is in it that is hurting you.
Your kids will get a check if you win, but the maximum for all people in your household is $2,680. |

Hi,
My
daughter's father has just been accepted for SSDI,he has recently
received his back payment check and I assume from now on a monthly
check will be forthcoming.
Though we were never married, his name
is on my child's birth certificate and he acknowledges her as his
child. He has, however, never paid child support (we live in different
States). They keep in frequent contact and she has vacationed with him
during Summer holidays.
Friends have told me that my daughter
should be eligible for some kind of help now, either payment from SSDI
or from his monthly check.
He would have no problem claiming her
if she was entitled to a monthly check of her own, I'm not so sure how
ameniable he would be if I was to ask for child support and it came out
of his own check. He has worked all of his life except the last four
years when he became permanently disabled. My daughter is thirteen.
Any information would be helpful.
Thank you. |

You
have a case that might be simple, and might be extremely complex. File
a claim and see what happens; if you don't get benefits, hire an
attorney. You should also consider a quick child support claim if he is
getting a lump sum from worker's compensation.
I am not
really answering your questions because the outcome turns on so many
factors that I don't know. You really should talk to an attorney. |

I
am the father of a 24 year old disabled son (Downs Syndrome) that is
currently receiving SSI ($286/month). I have not yet retired, just 60
years old, but am considering letting him live and work at an
institution, earning less than $70 per month, so he will not loose the
SSI money.
The cost of this institution is $2200 per month.
My
question is, will his SSI benefits be increased to the larger amount, I
think about $580 per month, if he were living there? Also, after I
retire will he be able to receive half my Social Security benefits to
help with the costs?
Additionally, not sure if you can answer this, can I rollover a 401k account to a Special Needs Trust.
Thank you for your time…. |

I
was recently approved for social security disability. My husband's son
from a previous marriage has never been dependent on me for any support
since his child support has always been paid from my husbands wages.
Why would a check go to his ex-wife for his son? Shouldn't that check
go to us to assist us for our end of child support and medical bills,
since my not working has made this expense difficult to pay? It seems
unfair that the ex-wife would receive benefits based on my disability,
we struggle and she profits, and yet we will still be required to pay
child support, etc. Would we have any chance of receiving these
benefits to cover our expenses for him? If the son receives benefits,
our children living with us would receive less. Do we HAVE to ask for
benefits for him also? Wouldn't providing her with a check break
confidentiality, she has no idea why I haven't been working, we've kept
my health problems private. Thank you for your time. |

You
can certainly go down to the Social Security office and ask for the
money. There is a strong tendancy to give the check to the person who
has custody, but that is not a firm rule, and of course even that rule
would not apply in a joint custody situation. You need to try to
convince the Administration that you would be responsible with the
money. Take care. |

My
husband and father to our 2 children died when they were 6&8.They
received SS until they graduated high school, however, our government
does not feel as though they need financial help getting through
college. Since I have been supporting us with one paycheck, I can not
help pay for college and have some less than perfect credit due to
several issues several years ago. Is there any funding with SS to help
with their college. Both are in Clemson and I struggle to keep my head
above water.Rose |

Hi All,
My
son was diagosed with aspergers syndrome at about age 7. He is now 16
and we had him tested again, his results came back again as aspergers
syndrome. When we met with the doctor she told us at age 18 he would be
elligable for SS disablity payments. I know that he would not be
eligable before 18 because, according to the government, we make to
much money.
My questions are will he really be able to get SSD, how do we start, do they count his parents income even after he is 18.
I
hope we will be able to find a job he will be able to do, but the SSD
is still very important as he has several other "problems" that require
a lot of medicines, without being of SSD he will have no insurance.
Thanks for the advise |

Q. Will he really be able to get SSD?
A. Probably.
Q. How do we start
A. When he turns 18, call 1 800 772 1213 and press 0 slowly each time a new voice comes on the phone, or go to www.ssa.gov.
Q. Do they count his parents income even after he is 18.
A. No.
Q. I hope we will be able to find a job he will be able to do
A. Yes; most folks are better off working.
Q.
But the SSD is still very important as he has several other "problems"
that require a lot of medicines, without being of SSD he will have no
insurance.
A. Right, that is often an insoluable problem in the US.
Thanks for the advise |

Possibly.

Take them to the Social Security office and ask them if he is getting benefits.
-- AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE A POSSIBLE WAY TO COLLECT SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THEM -
Possible, but not certain.
(HE

I suggest that you keep
pursuing him. Talk to a good family court lawyer in your area, and in
the area where you last lived together as husband and wife.

There
are certain kinds of disability payments for which the custodian of a
child can usually get benefits. You should go down to the Social
Security office RIGHT NOW. Occasionally, the noncustodial parent will
claim custody, and the Administration will give the child's money to a
ne'r-do-well. |

My
husband receives disability for an injury and can no longer work. He is
divorced and has joint custody with a week on week off visitation
schedule for both parents. His ex spouse files one child on her taxes
and he files one child on his taxes, who gets the ss check for these
children. He is receiving them now, do we have to turn one of them over
to her because she files one child on her taxes or does he keep both of
them because he has them as much as she does and has joint custody and
he is the one disabled |

Tonya: As representative payee, he has to spend every dime of both checks on the children, and he has to keep such records so that he will be able to prove that almost forever. The best way to do that is by setting up a checking account, and write each check in such a way that you can prove where every penny was spent. |

Fredrika: Any of those problems can be disabling if they are severe enough, and if you have the medical evidence to prove they are severe. I suggest you get your child's medical records and sit down with a lawyer who handles a lot of disability claims.

My ex husband has just started receiving his disability check. I have full custody of our daughter, which he has visitation rights. He is behind in child support about 15,000. My question is i have worked 2 to 3 jobs all these years to support my family.we are doing ok i would say. I am just wondering will he only be responsible for paying his child support or would my daughter receive anything more. He keeps saying he told them he has a daughter but i have not given him any info regarding social security numbers or anything. I do know he received i guess a back payment. he states he is going to start sending his child support. I just dont know where to go for answers. Can you help? |

Lisa: I can help a little by saying that you must go down to the local Social Security office and apply for your child's benefit yourself! It is perfectly possible that he has told them that the child is living with him, an he has gotten the lump sum and is getting the monthly checks! |

Hi,
I originally filed for SSDI back in Jan, 2005 & on my application I indicated I have an 11 yr old child. After being denied originally, I filed for an appeal hearing & hired an attorney. On Feb. 2, 2006 I had my hearing, and then on Feb. 18 I received a letter from the ALJ stating I had a "fully favorable" decision. I reside in Michigan & believe the wait is approx. 1-2 months before I get my benefits. My questions are: Will they automatically include the benefits for my child or do I need to apply for them separately? I'm approved for $1750 per month...how much would she be entitled to? Thank you! |

Andrea: You should probably go down and apply for your children's benefits after your award. So much time passes between the application and the award that the Social Security Administration wisely requires this, so that they don't send checks to a person who is no longer caring for the kids. The amount is hard to guess. Each child starts off being entitled to half your benefit amount, but ther is a "family maximum" which is different for each person that almost always serves to cut the children's checks down from 50%. |

Never married to my 7 yr old daughter's father. He has never paid support. Didn't pursue it due to his drinking. He has seen her a handful of times since March 99. He married in Oct '99 and supports 2 kids (not his). I got a phone call from him out of the blue Nov 3, 05 after nothing for 2 yrs, stating that he has not worked for 3 yrs, is receiving benefits, and she has money coming. I applied the very next day, they said I would receive in 30-45 days, have yet to see anything. Have called and visited the office 7 times. Always give me the same "It's complicated. You should have it in 30 days." Was told it was because there were attorneys, worker's comp, and his (biological) kids involved. THEN find out he has been collecting since AUG 05! 1) Why is it taking so long, and what can I do about it? 2) Can I also collect child support from his benefits? Thank you for your anticipated response. |

Exhausted, I can't say. you might try talking to a local lawyer or legal aid. If he has worked enough and paid in, his kids might be entitled to something. If he is drawing worker's comp, there might be an offset that eats it up. Child support is a family law question, and I would go to a family lawyer and see if he or she can nail him. |

Well, theoretcally, if a child is receiving from a deceased parent, he gets 75% of what the parent would have gotten, and if off of a retired or disabled parent, 50%.
But there is a "Family Maximum" that is the limit on all the checks that everyone can draw off of one record. For that reason, usually the child does not draw as much as that, especially if there are several children. |

I have a 8 yr old diagonsed with bipolar and sensory intragretion dysfunction. I applied almost 2 years ago for SSI for him at our local office in Lex, KY. I was denied because my child receives SSI payments from his father. We were divorced when I applied and I asked them couldn't they just stop the SSI payment that he receives from his father, and he can apply for SSI on his own. Answer was NO. SSA did however tell me to go apply for a medical card. In 2005, my son was hosptialized for his illness and I did go down and apply for a medical card for him. One week later I received a letter for DCFS saying the application was denied because of income. If you have any advice, or direction, I am just trying to get a medical card based on disability along so that my son can receive the PT and OT services he has to have. Thank you. |

I receive SSD payments for PTSD and Depression. My biggest symptoms are continuous exhaustion and oversleeping. I am trying to get better, and would like to plan to have a child in a couple years. Assuming I am still receiving SSD payments when I become pregnant, how does the the SSA look upon this situation -- will they presume that I am recovered and my pregnancy is equivelent to employment? I would plan to rely on relatives and hired help to assist with raising a child if I'm unable to care for my child myself. Is this a very important factor? Thank you. |

I just received the letter from my lawyer telling me that I need to call or go by my local office to apply for my dependent children to be entitled to their benefits. He said that my payment will be 854 dollars a month. I have 2 children, one 10 and one 14 months. How much in family benefits will they be entitled to? Will the receive back pay from July 2004 (for the 10 year old) and for the past 14 months for the younger child?
Also, it says that I will get a medicaid card until I get medicare in july 2006. Can I file alal the medicines that I have had to pay for on medicaid for retroactive pay?

Hello, I have a question, I have been disabled since birth. Since my separation and divorce back in 2001, I have received SSI. I would like to know if I am elgible to draw off my deceased fathers social security as his disabled daughter since I have been married at one time. He worked his entire life and lived only a few years beyond retirement. The amount of monthly payments with SSI is very small compared to being able to draw form his social secutiry. |

My son is 18 yrs ofd and just graduated from high school in May. In Sept. he will be attending a full time school as a post graduate and in Sept. '04 he will be going to college. He just received his last SS check this month. Is he still entitled to a check until he is 19 as he is definitely enrolled at a full time high school as a post grad? |

No. But if you were drawing mother's benefits, or if he had a younger sibling drawing a check, they might draw a little more.
This is because the family as a whole can only draw so much money. When the total of the checks would be over that amount, they reduce the children's checks and the spouse's check, but not the wageearer's check.

Is a child receiving disability payments as a result of a parent's disability only eligible for medicaid benefits? If so, or if not, can you provide any information as to where I might find the code regarding the eligibility? Thanks. |
