The child must not be married and should be 18 years and older. Meanwhile, his/her disability should have started before the age of 22.

It is not necessarily that the child had previously worked since the benefit will be based on his/her parents' earning records. In some cases, the child may even get Medicare assistance.

* SSI Child's Disability benefits

For those individuals who have become disabled before turning 18 years old, they can have SSI claims. Meanwhile, recipients should not be earning or working more than $980 a month (the amount may change every year).

The Social Security Administration (SSA) also considers the income of the child's family. In case that the income is more than the SSA's standard, the child will not get SSI payments.

SSA also limits the payment when a child is in medical facility and since the health insurance already pays for his/her needs.

- the surviving spouse should meet the definition of adult disability according to SSA.

- the disability of the surviving spouse started before the death of the SSA member and up to seven years after his/her passing.
