I have questions about family benefits.
Are you receiving benefits?
Yes, I have disability benefits.
Then certain members of your family may also qualify for benefits.
================
How long will my child get benefits?
Until they graduate high school or 2 months after they turn 19, whichever comes first.
Does it have to be my biological child?
Your child can be biological, adopted, or stepchild.
================
Can my spouse apply?
Yes, but we may need proof of marriage.
================
What if my spouse worked, too?
We pay them their benefits first, and if yours is higher, we add the difference between the two.
================
How much is the family member benefit?
Family members get up to 50% of your disability amount.
