I have a child who has been disabled since birth and has never been able to work. Can my child get disability benefits from Social Security?
Very likely. If the child is under 18 and you are poor, the child may be able to qualify for SSI child’s disability benefits. If the child is over 18, he/she may be able to qualify for SSI disability benefits without regard to the income of her parents. If the father or mother is drawing Social Security benefits of some type or is deceased, the child may be eligible for disabled adult child benefits.
