Can An Adult Child Who Becomes Disabled At 40 Draw On Their Father's Social Security?

Can an adult child who becomes disabled at 40 draw her living father's ss?

Hi,

No. A person must become disabled prior to age 22 in order to potentially qualify for disabled adult child's benefits on a parent's record.

Best, Jerry
