If I get back pay, will my dependents get back pay as well? And will they automatically receive payments or do I need to apply for them separately?

Hello. If Social Security approves your claim and gives you back pay, you will receive benefits for every month that passed since you became eligible for SSDI. If you have a spouse or dependent children who are entitled to benefits based on your SSDI claim, they will also receive back pay.

Hi Anne,
His awards letter should state if he is receiving back pay or not. It would depend on when the SSA deems as his "date of onset" for his disability and how long between applying and getting proved.

Hi Jamie, Each dependent can receive a monthly payment that is 50% of your own SSDI payment. It should be a separate payment

Hi mshawn,
Your children may be able to receive auxiliary benefits under your SSDI. They will need to be under 18 (or enrolled fulltime in school), unmarried, and your dependents.

Hi Janith,
It varies on a case by case basis. When approved for benefits, your letter should state how much you'll be receiving.
I just got approved for SSDI but it did not say if my kids will get money, and they are 6 and 8 years old do they do that seperate

Hi Sally,
Back pay should be used for expenses related your parents disability. For example, it cannot be used to pay for a family vacation. As you parents use the money, keep copies of the receipts to show how the money was used.
