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 Nicole,
If your son would be able to inherit property from his father, then he may be eligible for his father's benefits.
2 of my boys are from my longest relationship- 16 years but never married. Their dad was killed in 2014... I started receiving survivor benefits... Not very much 290. A child .... I filed for Disabilty in 2014 also. I had to work through my Disabilty because I had to support my kids so social security said I wasn't found disabled until 2016-- because I worked.. Well I have 2 other children.. When I was approved I received ssi for 4 months around 400$ a month now my benefits start and ssi stops. They said all my kids put on my Disabilty and now they won't receive survivor benefits from their dad any longer --- no back pay- no back pay for kids??? Are they to the penny or should I get a lawyer

Hi Nicole,
Unfortunately, if you did not qualify for back pay, then your children may not be eligible either.

HI there,
if your children are over 18, it may be a good idea to contact the SSA and let them know your children are ineligible for benefits.
My husband is awaiting a hearing to appeal his denial of SSDI benefits for mental illness. He has been diagnosed as schizophrenic over 25 years ago but had been able to work full time up until last year when he was hospitalized due to decompensation. We applied for SSDI in April of 2015, denied in Oct of 2015, and filed an appeal in Nov of 2015. Our son was 16 when he originally applied for SSDI. He will be 18 in 2017. He was listed on my husbands application. If my husband is approved for SSDI and gets a lump sum payment, will our son get a lump sum payment as well?
I have a question......I had a child with a married man 7 years ago yesterday. About 3 years ago he was shot & thankfully survived but he's now paralyzed & on disability. He has 3 other children that live in the house with him that I'm pretty sure are reaping from the benefits while my outside child suffers. Is it possible for him 2 receive benefits including back pay even if I have recently moved to another state?

Hi Cassie,
Your child may be eligible for benefits based off of the father's work record, however, it would depend on the type of benefits that he is receiving.
I have hired an attorney for divorce. I am on disability. I gave SSA my daughter's information and addresses of her mother's family (I wasn't sure where she had gone), so that my ex could receive payments for my daughter. I assumed she was receiving those benefits. I recently was told that letters were sent, but my ex never went to get the benefits started. I need proof of this for my attorney (that SSA attempted contact, etc). How can my attorney or I get this information?

Hi Jeremy,
You may need to get written permission from your ex for the SSA to supply any records they may have regarding contact with her.
In reply to Hi Jeremy, by Bryan
Thank you so much for your response. The problem is that she never responded to the letters that were sent to her family's addresses, therefore did not apply for benefits for my daughter. We believe she thought it was some kind of attempt for me to find out where her and my daughter were- not realizing it was actually for money for our daughter. So one of her claims is that she has never received financial support from me for my daughter. That part is complicated and irrelevant on here. In short, she is not going to cooperate in any way. So I'm simply needing to show that SSA sent the letters in attempt to inform her of benefits for my daughter- that she could go in to her nearest SSA office. I was told they were sent and that she never responded/applied. But for my attorney and I, are we able to get proof of that (that SSA sent the letters)? Is there some legal thing my attorney needs to file to get that info to show the judge?

Hi Jeremy,
I'm not really sure how to get confirmation of the SSA sending out that letter beyond obtaining written consent from the person that the SSA interacted with. It may be a good idea to contact the SSA to see if that applies as the benefits are based off of your work record.
I have been drawing disability for a year now. I have had full legal custody of my two gchildren for 6 years. I have adopted them.it was finalized last month. How far back will backpay go
In reply to I have been drawing by Melissa (not verified)
Hi Melissa,
I'm not entirely sure, however they may only be eligible for back pay from the time you made the application.
If my child fathers is drawing ssi could my child draw one under him and would it effect my child's father check

Hi Cailin,
Unfortunately, auxiliary benefits are not offered with SSI benefits.
My husband just recently passed and I filed to recieve survivor benefits for my kids and I was told that my husband didnt have enough credits..does anymore know if there are other programs that can help get money for my kids?
In reply to My husband just recently by Jamie O (not verified)
Hi Jamie,
I'm sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, the SSA only offers survivor's benefits with sufficient work credits. It may be a good idea to obtain some more information about your husband's prior work history if you feel they made a mistake.

Hi Jo,
You husband may be eligible for back pay, and your child may be eligible for back pay as well.
