SSDI and SSI do have plans that provide for disabled children and the children of disabled parents. There is no income or asset limitation in SSDI and SSI disabled children cases. Like any area of Social Security disability law, there are a lot of questions that will be asked before you can obtain benefits. With attorneys Edward C. Olson and Frank W. Levin advocating for your rights, you can make sure you submit all appropriate information in a timely manner.
When it comes to children with disabilities, it is important to obtain information from doctors they were seeing before the age of 22 and to understand whether there has been a change in their condition in that time. In order to receive benefits, your child's medical condition must have been disabling before they turned 22. The child must also have a parent who is disabled, retired, or deceased in order to qualify for benefits.
It is a tricky process, and any of the following factors could potentially disqualify disabled children from receiving SSI benefits:
- The child in question was married after 22. If their spouse was not also collecting benefits, there is a chance it could disqualify them.
- If the child in question ever worked in a substantially gainful activity after age 22. This too could disqualify them from benefits.
At our firm, you will work with the same attorney through the process. We want to make sure you get the full extent of SSI benefits that your family deserves, and we will take cases beyond the administrative process and to the state court system if need be.
