I have been disabled since i was 21. I am now 46 and have been receiving benefits from my mothers disability for years. Recently i received a letter saying i needed to file on my deceased fathers social security.I filed and was told that i was qualified to receive benefits from him. Will i be able to continue to receive from both parents.

Hi,

No, if you qualify for benefits on both of your parents' records, you can only be paid the higher of the 2 benefit rates.
