Are children eligible to receive disability benefits ?


Some children may be eligible to receive disability benefits through the SSI disability program. To start the SSI claim process, a disability interview will first be scheduled for the child.

During this interview, income and resources will be evaluated (because the SSI program is based on financial need). An application will be taken if income and resource requirements are met and, if so, the disability claim will be forwarded to the state agency responsible for processing disability claims for the social security administration. If the state disability agency determines that a child is medically disabled, the child will be entitled to a monthly SSI benefit from the Social Security Administration.
