Home :: FAQ :: Basic Questions Social Security Disability

If I decide to file for SSDI, will Social Security disability insurance help my dependents?

Yes. If you are approved for SSDI benefits, other family members may also qualify for benefits.
Generally, benefits will be available for:
• Children under 19 who have not finished high school
• A spouse who is caring for a child under the age of 16
• A spouse over age 62
To avoid unnecessary delays, apply for SSDI dependent benefits at the same time you are applying for your own benefits.
