Benefits For Children With Disabilities 2024

Short Description

This booklet is for parents, caregivers, or representatives of children younger than age 18 who have disabilities that may make them eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. It is also for adults with disabilities since childhood (prior to age 22) who might be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. We call this SSDI benefit a “child’s” benefit because it’s paid on a parent’s Social Security earnings record. This booklet will help you decide if you, your child, or a child you know may be eligible for SSI or SSDI.
