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?
The child is entitled an amount equal to 1/2 the benefits. Benefits will be paid will 19 as long as in school. The child will receive back payment as long as the child was filed on the original application by the father. Go to the social security office and submit your information and request benefits on behalf of the child. But when the child turns 18 you are no longer their payee - they are!

This is only true if the child is receiving SSDI on behalf of an adult. At age 18 the child could become the payee of his or her own SSI benefits if he or she doesn't have an intellectual disability. If a child turns 18 while receiving SSDI, the benefits will stop.

Hi Kim,
If she is receiving it based on her work record, then your neice may be eligible for benefits.
My ex husband receives SSI benefits and has gotten them since he was a child. He has a court order to pay child support and is behind over 10 thousand dollars. Can my kids receive SSI benefits because of him

Hi Becca,
Unfortunately, they may not be eligible as SSI benefits do not include benefits for dependents.
My 18 year old received a large sum for being a dependent from her fathers disability settlement does she pay taxes on it?

Hi there,
You may want to contact the SSA regarding this, as the tax liability, if any, may be on the father, however it's always good to make sure that this would be the case.

I would recommend speaking to a SSA representative regarding that.
I currently receive SSI benefits for my son with a disability. I live on my own with my 2 sons and recently found out I am pregnant. Father of this baby does not live with me, how will this affect my sons benefits

Hi Diana,
It may not affect your son's benefits, however you may want to contact your local SSA office regarding this.
I applied for my daughter, but she needs a representative payee, now her father isn't the one claiming her, and neither of us could be the payee since we both have backrounds, so will either of us have to take a paternity since she needs a payee and it isn't us who will be a payee? And will we still have to undergo one if neither of us are the payee?

You may want to reach out to a family member or friend that you can trust with the money for your child.
