I have children and their father has recently went for a hearing is waiting on a decision. I was told that the kids will qualify for benefits. I have several questions.
How is the amount determined?
What are the rules for the cutoff age to recieve benefits?
Do the children recieve back pay as well?
What steps if any do I need to take to set up their case?
If a child is 18 but still in high school do they qualify, and for how long?

Hi Kammara,
Unfortunately, auxiliary benefits for children are not available for SSI beneficiaries. You may want to contact your local SSA office regardless just in case, you can find a listing here:

Hi i have been my sons representative payee since 2014. I have been collecting monthly social security payments for my son. A year ago my sister got guardianship of my son. I am trying to appeal the case. Social security has stopped my payments and is investigating me. Will i have to repay social security all the money i have been receiving for my son eventhough he is with my sister temorarily? Also i thought i would stil be considered is mom and have rights do to the fact that my son is only with my sister temporarily.
What will happen to me? What will i have to do?

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about that! The SSA may send you a letter regarding this, if you had improperly received benefits they will inform you of any overpayment that you'd need to repay.
I am fully disabled. I receive a disability retirement from CALPERS and I am on SSDI.
My wife is a nurse, but she also provides for my daily care/needs. Can she be paid thru SSDI or SS as my caregiver to allow her to remain in the home and provide my care?

Hi Randy,
Your wife may be able to receive compensation due to your disability, however it does not provide funding of benefits for caregivers.

MY MOTHER BECAME DISABLED WHILE PREGNANT WITH ME AS A RESULT OF INJURIES SUSTAINED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, AS HER CHILD I NEVER RECEIVED ANY BENEFITS, I AM 38 NOW AND FOUND OUT THAT MY OTHER SIBLINGS WERE RECEIVING BENEFITS UNTIL THEY TURNED 18. CAN I APPLY FOR THOSE BENEFITS NOW THAT I SHOULD OF RECEIVED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO?
In reply to MY MOTHER BECAME DISABLED by CHRISTIE (not verified)
Hi there,
You may not be eligible for those benefits, the SSA limits auxiliary benefits to 180% of the primary beneficiary's benefit amount, if your other siblings received those benefits, your mother may have hit that 180% limit.

A child lives with the biological mother and the husband (not the biological father)adopted her 2 years ago. The biological father filed for disability. He must have put he had a child who was under 18. SS called the mother and said the child was eligible for benefits. Is that the case? Can SS come back later and demand money back since the father gave up all parental rights?
In reply to A child lives with the by Jeff (not verified)
Hi Jeff,
The child may still be eligible for benefits based on the biological father's disability.
To receive benefits, the child must be unmarried and be under age 18; or 18-19 years old and a full-time student (no higher than grade 12); or
18 or older and have a disability that started before age 22.

If a court awards Permanent guardianship to a family member and that child receives a death benefit from her deceased father does the guardian receive the benefit for the child?

Hi Angie,
I'm sorry to hear about that! The guardian of the child may be able to be assigned as the child's representative payee, and would receive benefits for the child.

I'm receiving ssd and my daughter gets auxiliary benefits from my disability every month and my Ex wife is also getting child support from my disability payments every month. Am I required to pay child support from my disability even if my child is getting auxiliary benefits from social security?

Hi Eric,
It depends, with SSDI benefits some states do consider these and any auxiliary benefits associated with child support. Be sure to check your states laws concerning this.

My child will stop receiving the ssdi payment from my ssdi child benefits set up for her. Will my ssdi check reflect an increase due to hers stopping? I did not put my wife on at the time. In essence the amount of monies decreases 50% total. I thought as took my amount and I designated an amount to her as the payee. Does that amount go back to my monthly check amount? Or disappear?
