Hi Gina,

I am so sorry to hear that. Your son may be able to qualify for disability benefits. You can go to the SSA's website and fill out an application form.

Wishing you and him nothing but the best.

Hi Jean,

In order for your daughter to qualify, she would need to have worked in the past. To be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance, she would need have earned a specific number of work credits (based on her age) to qualify.
