There is no restriction on your son's income if you are on Social Security disability (SSDI); they don't take total household income into consideration when calculating your benefits. If you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a form of welfare, your benefits could be reduced or discontinued if your household income increases even a little bit. You need to find out which benefit you're receiving before the question can be answered accurately.
Yes, if the child or a parent is 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.
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.
The minor child's benefit is a percentage of the disabled parent's benefit.
If you are "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by Social Security and living in your parent's home, your parent can probably transfer the home to you without penalty.

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).
If the parent is "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by Social Security, s/he and minor child(ren) might be eligible for RSDI ("regular" Social Security) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). In the latter case, the child would likely be eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
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.
I know from personal experience that Social Security will pay disabled individuals who are deemed permanently disabled. That is through FICA, the Federal INSURANCE contribution act. Most people do not know that FICA is an insurance plan that not only pays when an individual reaches retirement age but also for disability, survivor's benefits to children under 18 whose parent has died, and a whole $250 burial benefit (which hasn't been changed or upgraded since inception of the act in 1936). For those who have not earned sufficient amounts to have social security pay, a permanently disabled can receive SSDI, Social Security Disability Income which is separate from the regular SSD (Social Security Disability) program. A massive hemorrhagic stroke disabled me to the point that I could not walk, talk or, of course, do any work. It has taken YEARS to get to the point that I'm at now. When I turned 65, my disability income from SSD (I had been a computer engineer when I had the stroke) converted to regular Social Security and I continued to receive the same amount as when I was receiving disability income. Hope that helps.
Yes, a parent of a minor child who is receiving Social Security Disability benefits can still work. However, the parent's income may affect the child's eligibility for benefits, particularly if the parent is receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the child. It's important for the parent to be aware of the income limits and reporting requirements associated with these benefits to ensure compliance with Social Security regulations.
Social security disability or a different type of disability insurance? For SSDI, children of divorced parents are still eligible for benefits regardless of whether the child lives with the parent receiving Social Security benefits or the parents remarry.
