Disability Benefits
I don't ever remember reading this before. Has the law changed? My dad called me and told me to look at this on the SS site:
Can my family get benefits?
Certain members of your family may qualify for benefits based on your work. They include:
Your spouse, if he or she is 62 or older;
Your spouse, at any age if he or she is caring for a child of yours who is younger than age 16 or disabled;
Your unmarried child, including an adopted child, or, in some cases, a stepchild or grandchild. The child must be younger than age 18 or younger than 19 if in elementary or secondary school full time; and
Your unmarried child, age 18 or older, if he or she has a disability that started before age 22. (The child’s disability also must meet the definition of disability for adults.)
Our son gets benefits, but I don't and at the time we applied was told that was it as far as benefits go.
Can anyone enlighten me?
