Social Security considers this a child's benefit because it is paid on a parent's Social Security earnings record. Applicants must meet the SSA disability criteria for adults and must be unmarried. Since benefits are paid based on the parent's earnings record, it is not necessary for the adult child to have ever worked. A disabled adult child already receiving SSI benefits should still check to see if benefits may be payable on a parent's earnings record.
You can apply for early Social Security retirement benefits beginning at age However, taking retirement early reduces the amount of your benefit for the rest of your life.
In most circumstances, if you are likely qualified for SSDI, it makes sense for you to apply for that benefit instead of drawing early Social Security. But if you decide to take early retirement perhaps you need the income while waiting to hear about your SSDI application , you can apply for retroactive SSDI. If you are found to have met the disability requirements before you began to receive early retirement, you would be entitled to retroactive benefits equal to the difference between your early retirement payment and what you were entitled to for SSDI.
However, if Social Security determines that your disability did not begin until after you received early retirement, you won't receive any retroactive payments. Once you reach retirement age, your full retirement benefits will be reduced based on how many months you received early retirement called the "reduction factor". If you believe you qualify for these benefits and have been wrongly denied, find an advocate familiar with Social Security disability policy to represent you.
Call for a referral at A jointly-funded, Federal-State health insurance program for people with limited income and resources. It covers certain children, and some or all of the aged, blind, and disabled in a state who are eligible to receive federally assisted income maintenance payments. The law gives the states options regarding eligibility and types of services under Medicaid.
Other income or resources do not affect your payment amount. We usually adjust the monthly payment amount each year to account for cost-of-living changes. We subtract your countable income from the FBR and then add your state supplement, if any. Getting a decision generally takes three to five months, according to Social Security officials, but the time can vary depending on how long Social Security needs to get medical records and other relevant evidence.
Military veterans and people with particular severe medical issues may qualify for expedited processing. A majority of applications for disability benefits are initially denied.
