Receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) indicates that an individual meets specific financial criteria and has a qualifying disability, but it does not automatically mean they are considered disabled in every context. The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines disability based on the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity due to a medical condition. Therefore, while SSI recipients must generally have a disability, the determination of disability can vary in different situations and may require further assessment.

Can you collect SS for a child that has both parents and only one rendered disabled?

Yes, a child can receive Social Security benefits if one parent is disabled, provided that the disabled parent is entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The benefits are typically based on the disabled parent's work record. The child may be eligible for benefits if the disabled parent is receiving SSDI or SSI and meets certain criteria set by the Social Security Administration. However, the presence of both parents does not disqualify the child from receiving benefits based on the disabled parent's status.
