Is My Wife Eligible For A Higher Benefit On My Account?
My spouse and adopted son are disabled. She receives SSDI and he receives both SSDI and SSI as a Disabled Adult Chlid. Her earnings were not enough to eliminate his SSI. This has been the status for years. Recently I became disabled and have won an SSDI claim. My earnings and contribution to the Social Security system have been much greater. We have a meeting set with Social Security and expect our Son's SSI to be eliminated, his SSDI to increase significantly (almost double), etc. because of switching to benefits off of my entitlement.
