Can I qualify for disability benefits to cover expenses to care for my mentally disabled new born?

There is no such thing as baby disability specifically, although a child who is disabled can qualify for social security income. Minors under the age of 18 years of age do not qualify for social security disability benefits; they can qualify for supplemental security income, however, if the family’s income level is below a certain amount. These benefits can continue until a child is 18 and if a child is receiving them, he is also automatically eligible for Medicaid to cover his medical bills. The income requirements vary depending on where you live and the size of your family. You should contact an experienced disability attorney who can help you determine whether you qualify for benefits in your area and what those benefits are.
