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?
I was approved for 12 months of ssdi for the period of January 2015 thru December 2015... I was told my son is eligible for ssdi under my record... I think he gets 50% of the amount I get, but does that mean for the same period and does he get back pay as well? Does he get mthly payments as well or just one lump some?
Thanks...

Hi there,
He may be eligible for a lump sum and/or a back payment, however you may want to contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 for more info regarding this.

Hi James,
This may not be as SSDI benefits do include benefits for dependent children as well.

You may want to contact a local SSA office regarding this as they can give you information specific to the child's case regarding school attendance and SSI benefits.

My daughter receives SSI and she had a child two years ago, does her child get to receive benefits as well?
In reply to My daughter receives SSI and by Jocelyn (not verified)
Hi Jocelyn,
SSI benefits do not include benefits for dependent children.
I was injured 10/14/13 and ALJ ruled that my onset date was correct and I my benifits where to start on 4/14/15. I was lucky that they considered my case as a dire need and it cut 6 months of waiting for a hearing.
I have several questions about dependent benifits for my stepchildren. I don't think I listed them on my application, but I did list them on parts of function capacity form. I did not know they could get benifits.
So I have a phone conference on 10-19-2017. So my questions are:
My stepson at the time of my onset would have been 16 and my stepdaughter would have been 10. I want to ask if they would receive half of my back pay from April 14 2014 since I did not realize they were eligible. Will the SSA pay them dependent retroactively or will the benifits start if approved during my teleconference on 10/19/17?
I just can't figure it out.

Hi there,
they may be eligible for backpay if the are otherwise eligible for benefits and were eligible from the time of your application.
I applied for Ssdi benefits, if approved, do my children get benefits automatically or do I need to file a separate claim

HI Dreama,
They would start receiving benefits if you had included them in your initial application, otherwise you may need to apply for them.
My son is 16 if he no longer is disabled will they release the back pay that is in dedicated account before he is 18?
