Because your disabled your son will get it.
I already know what mine will be. I have a phone appt on Tuesday for my son. His is what I was wondering if my husband makes over a certain amount is my son still eligible? Or does he automatically eligible since I am disabled.
Your approval letter will tell you your monthly amount. They go by how long you worked and contributed to the system
Thanks! Is it income based or automatic? I will try to call today.
You should be able to call them the local area office and add your son you need his ssn#
Your child will get a monthly check equal to half of your benefits till they turn 18 or graduate high school whichever comes first. SSDI will send you a statement yearly asking how much of your childrens income was used. Do not bank it. Its supposed to be used for them. I had a seperate bank accounts for each of my kids and they could take out the money when they wanted or needed something mine were 16 when I got ssdi .
I think you do get more if you have kids. A lady in my neighbor got more for her kids.
