Does My Son Have Any Options?
My son became disabled at age 19 and filed for benefits on my husband's
>> Social Security, as he was also disabled. My son is now an adult and gets benefits on my husband’s account. However, I am ready to receive my benefits, which are twice what my husband gets. Social Security said that my son has to now reapply for benefits on my account, which means he has to complete a new application for benefits. If he chooses to stay on my husband’s benefits, he will lose his SSI, and will no longer have free Medicare and Medicaid coverage.
