New York City Disability Benefits Attorneys
If you have applied for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you may wonder if your children or spouse are also eligible to receive benefits. Fortunately, the answer is yes in many cases.
If you are awarded SSDI benefits, we can file an application on your behalf to seek benefits for your children. Your spouse may be eligible for benefits as well. However, there is a maximum amount of benefits that each family may receive, regardless of the number of children in the family.
If you are receiving SSDI benefits and you pass away, your spouse and children may potentially be eligible for survivors' benefits at the time of your passing. Even a former spouse may be eligible for survivor's benefits in some circumstances.
If you need help with an SSDI application or appeal, contact the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices in New York City. We have handled hundreds of Social Security Disability claims. If your application for benefits has been denied, do not give up hope. We have a strong record of results in SSDI appeals.
Supplemental Security Benefits
In addition to helping clients obtain SSDI benefits, we also help clients who need Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a benefit paid to people who are age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and who have limited income and assets. Since SSI benefits do not require a work history, people who are not eligible for SSDI benefits may be eligible to receive SSI benefits.
