We make disability determinations for:
Insured individuals who apply for disability benefits or for a period of disability (as described in Chapter 5);
Widow(er)s and children who qualify because of relationship to an insured worker;
Adults who qualify and apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability payments;
Children under age 18 who qualify and apply for SSI disability payments (see §517).
This Chapter explains generally how the terms and requirements in Chapter 5 pertain to evaluating disability. It also covers what evidence is needed to make a disability determination.

why
March 3, 2009 by Guest
when you are approved for ssi and you have a young child, they should get the beneifits as their parent, right. well my daughter did not receive any beneifits after i was disabled in 2004 and i don't think this is right. i think she should receive a check once a month too..

my father passed away 25 yrs ago, and my mother is receiving benefits, and my sister who was mentally retarded was receiving benefits before passing away 4 weeks ago. question, will my 90 year old mothers benefits change, now that my sister has passed away?

I am unaware of any change of benefits for this type of relationship. However, you may want to contact SSA directly for this.
