Who is Eligible for Benefits Under my Account?

If I get social security disability payments do my step children get benefits if they now live with their dad?

If a step child gets benefits through me who is the check made out to?

I am on SSDI. I just had a new baby. When does her dependent amount begin.. Do I receive back pay from her birth?

My son is turning sixteen but is disabled.....I receive auxiliary benefits for him(through my husbands ssdi) which social security wants to stop because he is turning sixteen. If he is disabled doesn't my auxiliary benefits keep going because I am caring for him and he is disabled (even though he is turning sixteen) ????

My daughter is 18 she never received Social Security from her father but his other children did she has graduated from school that she still qualify

If I get SSDI can I get any benefits from my husband I'm the age of 54

My children's father died in prison 3 days ago in Illinois where do I start to get benifits

I was approved for sad and ask in 2005,i have asked over the past 12 yrs I'f my children could get benefits or of me. They continue to say no because I draw the max amount which is 452.00 I was a single parent at the time I elwasnapproved. Why do the keep denying my children's benefits. Cyan they won't give me a straight answer any advice? ??

Hello,
My husband is a disabled vet who receives SSDI. My son and step son are also receiving the benefits under my husband and I am the representative payee. My step son lives half and half between us and his mother. However, my husband is responsible for more than half of my step son's expenses.
His ex wife is also married to a disabled vet who receives SSDI.
Is my step son allowed to receive SSDI from both my husband and his step dad?

My children's father was getting ssdi. He tried to go to work and discontinued his ssdi. They sent him a letter stating that if he is still disabled, he could start his benefits back up at any time. He has now been sent to a mental hospital and will be in there for an undetermined amount of time. he was under court order to take his medicine and he stopped taking it. Am I able to go and try to re-apply for benefits for the kids or does he have to do it. He is not in his right state of mind so I don't think he will.

Can someone who receives SSDI also receive dependent benefits for their biological child if that child doesn't live with them? for example if the child lives with the mom full-time not the dad? if they were able to receive dependent benefits could they be given to the mother as a means of child support?

I'm a foreigner married to an american. He receives ssdi. We are not pregnant yet. Only we are hoping to receive a child. Would our child be on his ssdi or could our child collect ssdi because of the biological parent being on ssdi? Thank you

I receive disability. And have been that my step daughter isn't entitled to benefits under my claim even tho I have raised her for 13 years and have more than half supported her all those years. My disability is our only income at this time. And i have not received child support for her in over 10 years. Why isn't she entitled to receive benefits

So if my furture husband and I get married he is on SSI do I receive a check or not

I have applied for my disability I have not been approved yet since I applied I am having to take full custody of my two grandchildren can I or do I need to add them to my disability claim I'm not sure how this works

My husband of 3 years (we married when he was 62 and I was 49) collects ssdi. Is my child (his stepchild, age 12) able to collect ssdi on behalf of him? I work and am not disabled.

What kind of accounts can you use for your dependents? Savings rates are really low and CDs are terrible. Can you use a retirement fund?

Just trying to find out the answer to my question is...i worked for several years and earned my 40 credits. But married my younger husband which is 21 years younger then I . He had 2 small children age 6 and 8 years old. I had to take a lesser paying job because he was the bread winner made more then me ,saying he is my retirement. So i was the one to have to take a lessor paying job. Because his child had disability. Was in svhool problems. That way he didnt have to loose money from work or put his job at risk from takeing off . .now im 59 yrs old getting close to retirement the children are now 16 and 17 and ive worked up to 3 years ago at lesser paying job.part time. And had to quit to raise my 6week old grand child and her siblings ages now 2,and 3 and 7 and 8. And no support from the parents .cps came into picture took all the children for few months and we hired lawyer to intervine go court we got temporary custody. Parents got supervised visits. And child support 3 months ago. And when i got intouch social security they tell me yes you have yiur 40 credits . But all you earned is at age 62 is 472.00 month and no you can't recive any of the money your husbsnd earned and claimed you and all the kids as dependents .money he earnd that was with my help by scraficing mt income. Thinking id benifit because whats his is mine vice versa.they say no. So now im stuck wth only 472.00 while when he does draw 47 years from now.im dead and gone he will get to recive survivor benifits .his disabke daughter gets to draw off me im her step mom and. My grand kids i raised as my owne gets nonthing because parents refuse to terminate their rights. And i get nonthing from my husbsnd.
Just dont seem right
Pluse i csnt evenget survivor benifits off my ex decesed divorced husband whom i was married to for 26 years. Because im now married to my now husband of 12 years
Unless my now husband dies are becomes disabled.
Is there something or someone can tell me this is not true. Give me some hope.

I have been on and off SSDI since 2006; however, have been on steadily since 2012 and will likely never work again.

I've been reading the rules regarding grandchildren and benefits and have the following questions:

1. I am divorced from my "daughter's" father. I raised her, but never formally adopted her. If I have legal guardianship of her minor children, are they eligible for benefits?

2. If they are not eligible under the current guidelines based on relationship statuses and/or adoption rules, would they be eligible any other way? For instance, could they be considered legal wards because I'm not a blood relative?

All are currently 15 y.o. and younger and one or more may be eligible for their own disability at some point, but nothing has been medically/mentally determined at this point.

Thanks so much!

Hi, my husband is on disability, if he adopted my daughter would that change at all the amount he is getting?

If the non-custodial parent receives SSDI and has another source of income, is the dependent child eligible for both SSDI dependent benefits and child support from other income source?
