Who is eligible? 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. Under certain circumstances, money and benefits also can be paid to stepchildren, grandchildren and adopted children.
How Much Is the Monthly Benefit?
Social Security Disability 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 Social Security Disability payment the deceased parent would have received for being disabled.
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.
No Fee Unless We Win
You won't have to pay any attorney fees unless and until we win your claim and get money and benefits for you.
