According to the Social Security Administration to qualify for benefits, you earn "credits" through your work - up to four each year. When someone dies, their survivors may qualify for benefits if you have to earned enough credits, young people need fewer credits to be eligible. The law governing benefit amounts may change. For more information you need to visit socialsecurity.gov. You can also visit govbenefits.gov because you may also qualify for government benefits outside of social security

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.
