I have children and their father has recently went for a hearing is waiting on a decision. I was told that the kids will qualify for benefits. I have several questions.
How is the amount determined?
What are the rules for the cutoff age to recieve benefits?
Do the children recieve back pay as well?
What steps if any do I need to take to set up their case?
If a child is 18 but still in high school do they qualify, and for how long?

Hi Kim,
That seems like a delicate situation. I would recommend asking someone from the Social Security Administration regarding that.
How would you find out if someone is receiving benefits for a child that doesn’t live with the parent that is on SSI/Disabilty?

Hi Jess,
That's kind of tricky to find out--if it's your child you can check online under the child's My SSA account.

Do you mean as a guardian for your kids?
I recently had a baby in January. My question is will I receive child support from his father if his father receives ssi checks? If he is unemployed would my child still get anything?

Hi Valarie,
You should still be receiving child support.
Will a dad get a letter from ssi about there son getting ssi if the son is under age and does not live with son ?
Will a letter be sent to a mom and Dad if there son is approve for ssi if the kid is 15 and the patients no longer live together ?

Hi Dave,
The SSA will send the the letter to the address on what is on the information/contact form.
Does a kid that is approved for ssi get back payments ?
My grandson, Micah Lynn Lewis Northam, has received Social Security Disability benefits from his father, Stephen Charles Lewis', for the past 6-7 years, or more. They were being deposited into the bank account of his adoptive parents, Paul and Heather Northam. All of a sudden, they stopped coming in December, 2017. A phone call to the SS office said they were being sent to an incorrect location and that it would be corrected and they would resume. However, as of the middle of March, they still are not being received.
He needs and receives psychological and educational services, and the funds are essential to receiving those services. How can the family find out what has happened to the deposits and how to get them back on track.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Edwina,
Have you met with a representative at your local SSA office? That could be a good start.
My granddaughter receives SSDI and her legal guardian was told someone is getting her benefits but its neither of the parents nor the legal guardian. What should the legal guardian do? The social security office told them someone is receiving the benefits, but wont address the concern that its not the intended recipient. ???

Hi Keli,
Do you have any of your granddaughter's paperwork saved? That could shed some light on who is receiving those payments.
Need to know if mother of the child I have custody of can get extra money from mother’s disability claim. Mother signed Termination of parental rights years ago. She has absolutely no claim to the child. I understood from the legal system that once the TPR was signed the mother no longer could ever get custody, nor did she have to pay child support etc. Now she is trying to get benefits and wants this child listed on her benefits. Question Will they give her benefits for a child that the State deems no longer hers?
