Does My Child Qualify for SSI Benefits?

SSI or SSDI benefits vary but may be available for children under the age of 18 (and in some cases those over the age of 18). Many factors go into determining the eligibility of your child including:

  • The amount of income your family makes.
  • The condition that qualifies your child as disabled.
  • Your child’s residence.

Certain conditions may result in SSI payments being given straight away, even while your case is under review. Some of these conditions include:

  • Down’s Syndrome
  • Blindness
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Intellectual Disability
