Social Security aids childhood disability cases nationwide
Many youths disabled before 18 receive benefits when a parent who worked under Social Security retires becomes disabled or dies. Examples show dependents assured support even if the child’s disability began young, with payments tied to the parent's earnings and up to about $125.40 monthly. Applications require medical proof, age, and relationship to the worker.
