If you have a child who is severely disabled, you may be able to get them qualified to collect Social Security Disability Insurance. However, to do so, you will definitely need the help that can only come from an attorney who is experienced in cases involving SSI for disabled children in Bucks County.
What Are The Qualifications?
To be able to collect SSDI disabled adult child benefit, there are a few things that need to happen first. The adult child must obviously be at least 18, but they need to have become disabled before they are 22. At least one of the parents must begin collecting social security themselves or have a parent who would have qualified for it but died before they could collect.
What About Work History?
When it comes to work history, as long as the aforementioned qualifications were met, it doesn’t matter if they have never held a paying job or not. If the child did work, they may still make more based on the parent’s earnings instead of their own. This is something that needs to be discussed with an attorney specializing in SSI for disabled children in Bucks County.
What Will The Amount Of Benefit Be?
The monetary amount of the SSDI disabled adult child benefit can vary by a number of factors but the maximum amount they will be able to receive is 50% of the parent’s SSI benefit. The extraneous factors should all be discussed with a qualifying attorney.
