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 Lynn,
If you know his Social Security number, you can look this up at www.ssa.gov. I would recommend making an appointment to see if you can get auxiliary benefits under his account.

Your ex husband should not affect your claims, and your son's grants for college may not affect your claims either.

Representative payees do not need to live with the children that they are payee for, so you may still be able to be their payee if you are still otherwise eligible to be their payee.

My daughter is deaf-blind, since birth, and gas half a heart (Charge Syndrome). My husband is recently started receiving VA disability check. Should SSI count his VA disability as income for my 10 year old daughters eligibility?
In reply to My daughter is deaf-blind, by Mo (not verified)
Hi Mo,
His VA disability could potentially affect your daughter, but it unlikely that she will become ineligible! This is because VA benefits are considered unearned income.
