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 there,
Benefits eligibility is not based on custody, however you may want to contact the SSA and have them assign you as the payee for the child in your custody.
My ex husband went for SSD and got approved for SSI and still saying he might still get approved for ssd. He is telling me if the kids get any money it will go to him and he gaves it to me. My ? Is will the kids get anything from his ssi and I have sole custody so who gets the money if the kids get any. No child support in eight years so I don't trust he will have me any

I've been getting disability checks since b4 I can remember, been disabled since birth, I checked mysocialsecurity account an it says I collect ssi disability, someone recently told me since it's disability my 2 lil boys could be eligible to receive benefits. It would be great if it is true how do I find out if they are? (I'm mentally slow due to learning an cognitive disorders and everything I've read I can't make sense of) some say yes but have to meet criteria, some say no. So maybe someone could give me a simpler explanation on if they could be eligible. Hope I wrote this in a way you can understand what I'm asking

Hi there,
Yes, your children may be eligible for benefits, but you may want to check with the Social Security Administration for more information. Those benefits are available for SSDI , but not SSI.
My husband receives benefits for himself as well as one of our children. The child is 17. I am told that we can get the benefits issued directly to the child. What do I need to do to apply for this change?

HI Jamie,
Your child may be eligible for benefits based on his condition, however as he is 17 they would determine his eligibility based on you and your husband's income and resources. Once your child is 18, they would determine his eligibility based on his income and resources.

Hi Richard,
Generally in order for grandchildren to qualify, the biological parents of the child must be deceased or disabled, or the grandchild must be legally adopted by the grandparent.

Hi there,
If you feel the mother would not use the benefits for the child, you may want to contact your local SSA office regarding this, as they can assign a payee for the child that would use the benefits for their upkeep.
If a grandparent has full custody of there grandbaby and they get SSI can that grandbaby get benefits also

Hi there,
If the child also has a condition that is eligible for SSI, that child may be eligible for benefits.
So my girlfriend is 17 and is diagnosed with PTSD, Schizophrenia, Psychotic tendencies, and anxiety. She is 7 months from turning 18, but is not emancipated and does not live with her mother but she lives with me. There is also a past history of trouble between her mother and Child Protection Services, to the point where she was taken into foster care for a little bit. Her father was a loyal employee and was approved for ssdi after being injured, but died the day the first check arrived. This has been years ago tho. What are the odds she would receive ssdi at 17? Or 18? Would she receive her own or would it be pulled from her dads? Any recommendations or answers are very welcome.
