Question on this, I'm applying for my Social security now at 62, my son is disable and I have talked to several people at the office and at the 800 number and they tell me it is based off when I apply for my social security which will be age 62 and not my full 66/10. His this correct/ thanks

My son became disabled at age 19 and filed for benefits on my husband's Social Security, as he was also disabled. My so is an adult now and gets just a little over $800 a month between his SSDI and SSI. I will soon be retiring and I was wondering if my son could switch over to receive half of my monthly benefit. Is that a possibility? My husband is now receiving regular monthly benefits now bc he is over 65.

Retirement, disabled adult child, divorced spouse and calculation of benefits. One of the unplanned consequences when I retired at 63.5 was that my daughter-DAC was switched from SSI to SSDI. Her benefit is a relatively robust $1350 a month vs. $750 on SSI. My ex-wife is still working and will retire in a few years. When the ex-spouse retires will the DAC payment go down because of the ex wife’s share of my SS retirement pie reduces the DAC share? Will the DAC payment go down but then perhaps up again because of payment to the DAC from the ex-wives SS retirement pie?

Hi, I have never had SGA. My social security records show that. I am 36 and was diagnosed a few years ago with autism. My doctor maintains that autism begins at birth and so I have had it all of my life. It just was undiagnosed because people did not know much about it when I was a kid, but I have always struggled with extreme anxiety and depression and insomnia.

Larry - i have an adult son who is mentally handicapped and he is collecting SSI. I am 65 and am wondering when i start to receive Social Security will i need to change anything for him and will the amount he receives change ? Thanks, Michele

Hi Michele,

Hi. My question is I have a 26 year old son that lives in California and has been married for 3 years. He's been receiving disability since the age of 5 years old and is receiving SSI as well. I've just been approved for SSI and disability due to my disability. My case worker told me I'm now approved for SSI benefits claim that I had with them but she is telling me that my son have to apply for CDB. Will they take benefits from my check for him or will he be entitled to my benefits at all because he's married? Thanks.

Hi,

Hi, I have been disabled since birth. My father unexpectedly passed away in 2019 and my mother gets Widower's Benefits. I was married in 2008, but I am now in the process of getting divorced and it should be finalized within a month to 3 months. I have been separated from my ex-husband & in separate homes since May 2018.

Once my mom found out that I filed for divorce, she said that I needed to apply for DAC benefits after my divorce is final because she was told that I will qualify for DAC Benefits once my divorce is finalized due to being disabled since birth..

I got my dads social security when I was a teen in his care. I wasn’t disabled at the time. I got married at 16 and no longer got my dads social security. I became disabled around 18 and divorced a few months later. Would I be able to apply for DAC?

Hi,

If I divorce my current spouse and get approved for DAC would I keep DAC if my ex spouse gets social security and we end up remarrying to each other again?

Hi,

I’ve been disabled before age 22. I’m currently married. If my husband gets approved for social security would I be able to get adult child disability from my father who recently passed away? I’ve read you have to be unmarried but if you marry someone on social security you have a protected marriage and can get adult child disability. I didn’t know how it worked when your already married and during the marriage your spouse get social security if I’d be eligible to draw off my dad social security since I’ve been disabled since 18.
