Can a child collect social security if they have a parent over 50?
For a minor child (under age 18) to collect Social Security, the child's parents must be eligible for Social Security. This generally occurs when the parent(s) become 62 or "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by Social Security.
How do you collect social security?

NO
Can your minor child draw on Social Security Disability?

Is it possible to receive unclaimed Social Security benefits from a parent?
No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits.Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
Can i get social security at age 56?
You can get social security at that age if you are disabled, a disabled widow, the widow of a spouse who was already collecting social security and you are not a worker. You can get social security if you are a child of a deceased parent or your grandparents are on social security and they are your sole source of care.
Can a person who has never worked collect Social Security if you have no spouse you are 18 and your mom is disabled?
Possibly. You can collect Social Security disability benefits under a parent's earnings record if you are determined to be disabled before age 22, even if you have never worked. At 18, you are no longer eligible to receive dependent benefits unless you are still in high school, in which case you would be able to receive payments through the end of the school year or until two months after your 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. You may also be entitled to back benefits if you qualified to collect payments while living with your disabled parent, but never applied. If you are disabled and have little or no income and few assets, you may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and other forms of federal and state aid, however. Since your question is lacking a few important details, it would be a good idea to call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or visit the local field office and explain your situation to a representative. If you do qualify for benefits (either monthly or a lump sum back payment), the sooner you act the better.

Can primary parent get child support from disabled parent on welfare?
The non-custodial parent will still owe child support, even if he or she is disabled and on welfare. However, most states will not garnish needs-based assistance such as disability or welfare payments. So if the parent is not working and does not pay his or her court-ordered child support, it would be difficult for the state to collect. He or she might still be arrested and jailed for failure to pay.
Can a person who is 25 percent disabled but is working collect Social Security disability benefits?
No. The Social Security Administration only pays disability benefits if they determine you have a qualifying condition, are completely disabled, and are expected to remain disabled for at least one year. If you are capable of working or engaging in "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) regardless of whether you receive income for your efforts, you will not be approved for SSDI benefits. In addition, you -- or, under certain circumstances, a parent or spouse -- have to have made sufficient quarterly contributions to the Social Security fund before you become eligible to Social Security benefits. Some government programs, such as those for disabled military veterans, may pay a monthly stipend if you are partially disabled or have a non-disabling condition that has been linked to your military service (for example, Vietnam Veterans who have diabetes and were potentially exposed to Agent Orange automatically qualify for partial disability).
