Is A Family Breadwinner Disabled?

A disability doesn’t just affect a single person. It affects the whole family, particularly when the person who becomes disabled provides for his or her family. Fortunately, family members of disabled people who cannot work may be eligible to receive family benefits.

Family benefits are paid in addition to SSDI benefits to the disabled person.

Who Is Eligible For SSDI Benefits For Family Members?

Eligibility requirements for family disability benefits can be confusing. Spouses, children, and in some cases, ex-spouses and dependent parents may be able to receive 50 percent of the disabled person’s SSDI benefit. How long your child can receive benefits will depend on whether your child is also disabled.
