Providing for Those You Love
If you are struggling with a disability that prevents you from working, it can be challenging to support your family. It might comfort you to know that your dependants may be eligible to receive Social Security family benefits.
At the law office of Ellene Welsh, we help families obtain the Social Security disability (SSD) benefits they need to survive. A local law firm, we proudly represent clients in the Douglasville and West Georgia area.
Social Security Disability Family Benefits
If you qualify for SSD or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, your minor children may also receive benefits. This financial assistance helps you meet your children's basic needs for food, clothing, shelter and other necessities. SSD family benefits are determined based on how much you have paid into the system through contributions. SSI payments are paid at a fixed rate determined by state regulations.
In addition to minor children, the following individuals may be eligible for benefits:
- Disabled widows
- Disabled widowers
- Adult children with disabilities
- Caretakers
SSD family benefits claims are handled at local Social Security Administration offices. A skilled lawyer can help you navigate the complicated system and work to get the assistance you deserve.
