Charleston Disabled Child Benefits

The present state of affairs in the United States is such that the majority of families live from paycheck to paycheck, and any disruption of that cycle may have a crippling economic impact. Fortunately, when a worker becomes disabled and is rendered unable to work for a prolonged period of time, he or she may qualify to receive payment of benefits through the scheme provided by Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Because legislators have recognized that this situation is particularly challenging for families with minor children, the law allows for benefits to be paid to qualifying children of disabled adults. Any child under the age of 18, or up to 19, if enrolled and attending high school on a full-time basis, may receive benefit payments in addition to those distributed to the disabled worker and spouse, where appropriate.

The reason these payments are necessary is obvious to anyone with children, as there are any number of additional expenses that regularly arise. From clothing and healthcare needs to the academic and athletic enrichment opportunities that can serve to build a strong foundation for a bright future, the costs add up quickly and could easily become unmanageable if a child were not taken into consideration in the evaluation and disbursement of SSDI benefits.

The Charleston social security lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm offer legal representation and guidance to families with children who are forced by disability to seek the benefits they are due under the Social Security Administration’s Disability Insurance program. The individual reviewing your application will look for any minor flaw in your paperwork to justify denying your claim, and we can help to prevent that from happening.
