Is it possible to get SSI or disability benefits for children?

A child can be eligible for SSI, or supplemental security income, based on several factors. First, your daughter may be eligible because you are on social security disability. Children whose parents are on disability may be eligible to receive these SSI benefits even if they themselves are not disabled, depending on the family income. In addition, your child may be eligible on the basis of her own disability of the problems she has are listed on the SSA List of Impairments or if they re considered severe enough. You will likely want to speak with a social security disability attorney who can help you determine whether your daughter qualifies and how best to prepare an application for SSI for your daughter.
