Social Security Disability: Benefits for Surviving Children
Seeking Benefits for Children of Deceased Workers?
Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits for surviving children are based on the earnings of the parent who died. The more money paid into the system, the larger the benefit. In most cases, surviving children will receive about 75 percent of the SSD payment the deceased parent would have received for being disabled. Eligible children include:
- Unmarried children under 18 (or up to age 19 if they attend elementary or secondary school full time)
- Disabled adult children can get money and benefits at any age if they were disabled before age 22 and remained disabled
- Stepchildren, grandchildren and adopted children, under certain circumstances
There is a limit to the collective amount of money that can be paid to family members each month. There is also a special one-time death benefit for spouses and minor children who meet certain requirements. These benefits are often used to help support the payment of funeral expenses and other related costs.
