    Are you asking about Social Security disability payments? SS Disability payments go to the "insured" person (the disabled person with the work experience) and possibly his/her spouse and children. The amount for the child is generally 1/2 of the disabled worker's benefit amount, until he reaches age 18(or through age 19 if the child is a full-time student), although there is a cap on the total payments available to a family unit.
