Children of those who receive Social Security Disability Benefits may be entitled to a small monthly benefit amount. Benefits would be paid only if the claimant is considered SSDI or Title II. Those who receive benefits from SSI or Title XVI do not qualify.

No, stepchildren and spouses are not eligible for Social Security disability benefits based on their relationship to someone receiving disability benefits. Social Security disability benefits are typically only available to the individual who is disabled, assuming they meet the eligibility criteria.

Do you lose your disability when you get married?
You don't lose your disability determination but it might affect your check amount. Example: Your spouse makes enough money to care for both of you; your check might be reduced or zero. Example: The husband is on full disability; a disabled wife's check might be cut drastically.
You are on disability you were married at the time you started receiving disability are you able to draw off your ex-husbands social security?
You will need to check this with your local Social Security facility.
Who can I call about not receiving my veteran disability check?
The main number for the Department of Veterans Affairs is 1-800-827-1000.
Can you work while drawing a disability check?
Probably not, because you are receiving the disability benefit BECAUSE you cannot work. If your state has different rules it's best to confer with them as to exceptions.
You already have two children receiving a check from your Social Security disability can you add another on?
If you have another child, he or she would also be eligible for benefits; however, you are already receiving your family maximum benefit for the two children, so adding a third would simply make each child's benefit smaller. Each would receive one-third of the family benefit, rather than one-half.
If you are receiving full disability from your own work experience can you apply for your first husband's disability when you are divorced from your second husband?
Are you talking about Social Security Disability? It would depend on if you were married 10 years or longer and how much your receiving compared to what you might get on your husband's benefit. Check Social Securitys website. It's VERY extensive. If you can't find the answer, Social Security has a email inquiry section that responds PROMPTLY.
Are there any laws that affect a widow remarrying?
United StatesThe only laws that affect a widow's remarriage are state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below. In some states, if a person who owns property dies without a will leaving a spouse and children that are not the children of that spouse, the children, minor and adult, will be provided with a share in the estate.United StatesThe only laws that affect a widow's remarriage are state laws of intestacy.

If you are on disability and adopt your 13-year-old granddaughter will she draw a check off your disabilty and would she have to change her last name to receive a check off you?
I AM NOT sure from whom you get a disability check, but I have worked with disabled people for some years now, so I'll take a shot at trying to answer your question. Generally, your disability check would be for YOUR disability. I don't imagine your daughter (adopted granddaughter) receiving any of your disability check. The only things I see happening are: your granddaughter is disabled and receives a check. OR, since you are taking custody/guardianship of a minor, maybe you would get an increase in YOUR check, because you would now have a dependent. Whatever happens, her last name should not matter, as long as she lives with you, you are her legal guardian and she is your legal dependent. There is also a possibility of you receiving a stipend (sum of money) for adopting the child. You don't say where you get your disability checks from: a former employer, the state in which you live, or the federal government. You should probably pose the question you are asking to whom ever sends you your checks. I hope I have helped out!
Can an employer hold your short term disability check?
Yes. If the employer paid the premiums for the disability insurance payments that you are receiving. And you will have some taxable income that you will have to report on your 1040 federal income tax return.
If your husband dies can you receive his assets even if his will states otherwise?
Generally, a spouse cannot be disinherited in the United States. If the surviving spouse was omitted from receiving under the will or was given an unusually small portion they can elect to take an intestate share. You need to check your state laws concerning "election by spouse". You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link below.
Do you get Medicare part a at age 62?
You get medicare soon after your 24th consecutive social security check. Sucks, don't it? If you retire at 62, you'll get it at 64. Unless you are receiving [Social Security] Disability Insurance Benefits, eligibility for all parts of Medicare begins at age 65.
How can you stop Social Security disability checks if you don't want to continue receiving them?
You can elect to discontinue Social Security disability benefits at any time; however, you may have to pay a visit to your local field office to prove you are the person to whom the check or deposit is issued.
