WILL YOUR DEPENDENTS ALSO GET A DISABILITY BENEFIT?

If you are approved for SSDI benefits, your dependents may also qualify for a check.

Children are usually eligible for a check when the parent is awarded benefits, if.....

The child is under the age of 19 and is still in school (has not graduated high school).

When you apply for an SSDI benefit, you should make Social Security aware that you have dependent children under the age of 19 and still in school.  There is a place on the application to note this.

After your benefit has been approved, call the Social Security office and remind them that you have also applied for dependent childrens' benefits.

Usually, Social Security will process the primary claimant's pay (parent's) first.  Later, they will process pay for the child(ren).

At the Forsythe Firm, one of the things we do is to make sure you are not missing any benefit to which you are entitled.  We will file your claim in a way that permits your children to receive benefits, too, when you are approved.
