I am a disabled parent with three children collecting SSDI. Can I earn additional disability benefit amounts to support my kids?

Children who have a parent who is collecting social security disability benefits may be eligible to collect SSI, or supplemental security income, on the basis of their parent's disability. These benefits can generally continue until child is 18, or even 19 if he or she is attending school full time. The eligibility for benefits varies depending on the family's income level and the number of people in the family. You should contact an experienced social security attorney who can provide you with help in determining whether your children are eligible, and who can assist you in preparing an application for benefits for each of your three children.
