Social Security has set aside funds for children who are functionally disabled through their Supplemental Security Income program. While these cases generally difficult to prove, if you know what issues to focus on, you will be one step closer to getting benefits for your child.

A Social Security Judge will look at several factors in deciding whether or not your child can be rendered disabled. But even before a Judge can even do this, the income requirements of the household must be met.

The Social Security Administration offers two disability programs for individuals who are no longer able to work as a result of their physical or emotional impairments. If a person does not have enough work credits to qualify for Disability Insurance Benefits and they have limited resources, they might be eligible for Supplemental Security Income.

A person must still be found disabled by the Social Security Administration to receive these benefits, but this person’s work history is not taken into account. Sometimes, individuals can qualify for both programs, so it’s important to know the difference between the two programs.
