Do children receive SSI benefits for a disabled parent?

Women Women Women! Forget prenups! Marry a man that has made a modest income. All it takes is approximately a gross of $300,000 to $500,000. Use it as a cushion in case the marriage doesn't last. Drive your husband insane and divorce him. Make sure you have a kid because it makes a difference. My ex-wife did it to me and she receives $900 a month for one child and received a $16,000 lump sum payment from social security because of my disability. We were married, divorced, and had a child all within one year. None of us worked either! The lump sum was for back by when I became disabled and the $900/month is approximately half of what I get. I receive $1700/month. Before my disability grossed around $350,000 in my lifetime. Find a man who had made at least $500,000 and up! Have a kid, drive him insane, and you're good for at least $1200/month for 18 years!

Example: disabled parent receives $1000 a month.. Then child/children will receive $500 a month total.. Not a piece.

If the parent is deceased.. And doesn't have in lots of employment, say, died at age 26 with not much work history... All children of the deceased parent will receive the minimum amount of ssi. There is no limit on how many children receive it.. The amount going to each child is the same and is based on the employment history of parent.

After age 18, if not in college, all funds cease.
Hope this helps...
Have one son who decease at age 26 with 4 children... Receive close to $300 month on each child
Have a son who had massive head injury with 2 children.. Rec's around $1000 month and his 2 children receive a check for 1/2 that amount.

Hope this helps some, but all states and all circumstances are different, so contact you ssa office for your situation.

If they parent work a lot do they get more then the minimum or none at all?

Yes, if the child is in the care of a parent whom is disabled, if approved, the disabled parent receives Disability income, the child/ren, can receive Disability Benefits, until the child reaches 18, or is no longer in school. No matter how many children totalled, the children's total monthly is equal to half of the Parent's Disability Income, then it divided up between all the children if they apply. You must have put so much money into the system, for this amount to help you. When I completed my disability application, it had a question about # of kids in your care & household. Once I received just an approval letter for my Disability, showing how much awarded for the monthly amount. Then the next letter came in stating my application showed 2 dependents, please come in the office at your appointed time to apply for Disability Benefits for your dependent children, and bring the child's Birth Certificate, and SS Cards (2 forms of ID for PROOF they were born and my kids). She ask me lots of questions, and filled out the application in from of me. When that was completed, we began the application for SSI a program that helps disabled low-income families, if approved there will be a payment for Spouse (maybe working), Disabled Spouse, and the children. I hope this answers your question.

So what if the bio father has custody and the mother is on ssi/ssd? Can the children still get benefits?

My son receives disability benefits because I am on disability and he is a full time student under the age of 19.
