SSDI Benefits For Adults Disabled Since Childhood

The Social Security Disability Insurance is available for adults disabled since childhood. The SSDI program pays benefits to adults who have a disability that began before the age of 22. The SSDI benefit is paid on a parent’s Social Security earnings record and therefore is seen as a “child’s” benefit.

A disabled adult to become eligible for this child benefit must meet one of the following requirements:

  • One of his or her parents must be receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
  • One of his or her parents must have died and have worked long enough under Social Security.

The benefits are available to an adult who received dependents benefits on a parent’s Social Security earnings record prior to age 18 if he or she was disabled at age 18. The same disability rules apply as for adults in order to receive a disability decision.

A disabled adult is eligible for these benefits as long as the individual remains disabled. The individual does not need to have worked in order to qualify.

    I didn't think there was a caring professional considerate attorney firm on the planet, but Troutman & Troutman proved me wrong. From the receptionist to the legal assistance to the attorney and more they were exceptional people.

    They did a fantastic job getting everything gathered up and getting the trial done as quickly as possible. Anytime I had a question they were patient and help me understand what was going on. Especially Christy and Charlie were great.

    Steve Troutman was able to get my short-term and long-term disability for me. Then Erin another lawyer for their firm got my Social security disability for me. Great people.

    Mr. Troutman walked me through the entire process. Heather was available each time I called, answered all my crazy questions, and helped me fill out forms along the way. I was never treated like I was wasting time.

    Erin and Keith were fabulous! They were compassionate, helpful, and very responsive! They made the process very smooth and painless every step of the way.
