The Disabled Adult Child benefit amount will be determined based on a parent's "Primary Insurance Amount". From the Social Security website (www.ssa.gov/oa...
The "primary insurance amount" (PIA) is the benefit (before rounding down to next lower whole dollar) a person would receive if he/she elects to begin receiving retirement benefits at his/her normal retirement age. At this age, the benefit is neither reduced for early retirement nor increased for delayed retirement.

I've been disabled since i was before age 22, my dad retired earlier this year and was also disabled. Will social security automatically award me with the disabled child benefit, or do i have to apply for it?

@VisibleNationalTrust 11 месяцев назад

@user-ed4zu3ry6w I would check with your Social Security office, leave nothing to chance. My son's benefit was automatic, but I've had other people tell me they had to apply.

My adult son receives SSDI and in Sept. he'll be on Medicare as he had to wait the 2 years since my husband retired. Are you saying he can keep his Medicaid also? I just found out his medicaid was canceled a couple of weeks ago with no notice. I'm so confused.

@VisibleNationalTrust Год назад

It depends. Right now all the states are doing a Medicaid Redetermination, causing a lot of people to get kicked off. The Social Security POMS says if the only reason your son lost SSI was because of SSDI then he should be able to keep his Medicaid as long as he meets their asset and income requirements. Assets means he has to have < $2,000 in his name in most cases. I would (1) verify he meets the eligibility requirements and if he does (2) reach out to your local Medicaid office and ask why he was kicked off. You should have gotten something in the mail. Here's a link to the Social Security POMS (point # 4) - secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0501715015

Hi, I live in Florida I have cerebral palsy I’ve had it all my life I used to get Social Security benefits when I was younger and now I am 19 trying to get Social Security benefits. I am in the process of trying to get a job and I’ve just been assigned a case manager to determine if I can get Social Security should I go ahead with the process of getting a job or should I just wait until I get Social Security benefits back again? I don’t want my job to affect my Social Security, and to not be able to get Social Security.

@lilradrad2004 if you apply for and receive, SSI then your job would reduce those benefits. However, it's very likely you'll make more money from working than you will from SSI (SSI Federal benefit amount is $914/mth). If you haven't yet, I recommend contacting Vocational Rehabilitation. They should be able to set you up with a Benefits Counselor who can talk you through the different programs, like Ticket to Work, offered by Social Security to help those with disabilities find jobs and maximize their benefits. Here's the link to Vocational Rehabilitation - www.rehabworks.org/. I don't think there is any harm in applying for Social Security, just understand it will be reduced by the money you earn.

Hello. I have been disabled since age 4. I am 34 now. I have always been some form of Social Security. I have never worked. I have been on adult SSI since turning 18. Recently applied for SSDI on my bio dad's record since he's apparently been on SSDI Disability for a while now. Note: I have never lived with him. He hasn't been involved in my life. But apparently I qualify for his benefits is what the rep for social security said. He just turned 62 in May. Apparently I'd get half of his current benefits. She also said that it will go back only one year. But I would like to know some things if that's ok or if anyone knows. First, I was informed that my SSDI payment amount would be lower than my current SSI max amount. She said this will be Concurrent Benefits. Next, given that I am already on SSI the max amount, will this so called: "Windfall Offset" apply to me? Meaning, will Social Security be subtracting anything from any Retroactive or backpay that may be owed to me? Or will I receive the full Retroactive or Backpay amount due for the time I waited for my DAC SSDI Benefits? Also, I am currently on Indiana Medicaid. Will I loose that? And since my disability begun at age 4 and it has been proven through medical records, do I still need to wait the five month waiting period? Or no since I was disabled before my application date? And would I automatically qualify for Medicare right away upon approval since I was disabled since age 4? Or would I still have to wait the 2 year period? I apologize in advance for this very LONG wall of text. But the rep I spoke to diden't really help me in all of this. Any help is much appreciated.

Concurrent means you'll get both SSI and SSDI (this is what my son gets). For example, if you're getting $914 from SSI and eligible for $500 from SSDI, you'll get $500 from SSDI and $414 from SSI. Nothing should be "subtracted", but I would confirm this with the SSA office. You should not lose IN Medicaid. There is a provision in the POMS for those who qualify for both SSDI and SSI. You will have to wait the full 24 months from the time your SSDI starts to qualify for Medicare. Additionally, when your dad dies the 50% benefit will increase to 75%.

@@VisibleNationalTrust Thank you so much for explaining everything to me. So to be clear, the "Windfall Offset" wouldn't apply to me right? Meaning I'd get the full 12 months of retroactive pay or backpay? Which if my horrible math is right, is around $6,000? So I'd get that full amount and will not have to pay back any of that for Windfall Offset?

@VisibleNationalTrust 2 месяца назад

@@AirinWesley I don't think it would apply, but I would confirm with Social Security. This isn't an area I would consider myself an "expert" in. Please double-check with Social Security.
