When One Of My Children's Benefits End Will The Other Child's Benefit Increase?
I receive SSDI, and I have 2 children that receive benefits on my behalf. Can you tell me when one of my children's benefits end at their age of 18, will the other child's benefits increase?
Thank you,
Shon
Hi Shon,
In your case, yes. Child's benefits payable on the record of a living parent are normally payable at a rate of 50% of the parent's primary insurance amount (PIA). A person's PIA is equal to their full Social Security disability (SSDI) benefit rate, or their Social Security retirement benefit rate if they start drawing at . . . Read More

If You Live With Your Mother And She Dies Can You Get Her Social Security?
If your mother passes away and you lived with her for 7 years and I get disability can I get her social security.
Hi,
No one can ever legally collect a person's actual Social Security benefits after their death. You can only potentially receive survivor benefits based on a deceased worker's Social Security record. The only way that you'd be eligible for survivor benefits from your mother's record is if you qualify for child's benefits or disabled adult child's (DAC) benefits. Child's benefits can only be paid to children under age 18, or age 18 to . . . Read More

Does My Ex-Wife Continue Receiving The Money She Got Before Our Divorce?
I am on disability, my children receive benefits, my ex wife does as well. Social security agent told me she got caretaker benefits no spousal. I got divorced last year and was granted full custody of the children. I am now their representative payee. Does my ex wife continue receiving the money she got before?

How Can I Get Social Security To Correct My Son's Benefit Rate?
My husband and I are both permanently disabled. Our kids get ss from my record because I make more than he does. My daughter aged out 7/19 when she graduated high school. We were on the family max benefit. I called SS hotline and was told my son would be receiving half of hers added to his as of 8/19. We never heard anything so in December we went to the local SS office and they told us that was not true. So why would they tell us it would?
