I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news Walker, but I would check those amounts. If your check is for $1500, the total for the kids would be $750 ($325 each) Could your lawyer have been mistaken about your amount ?

I remember thinking the kids would get more. On the thing SSA sends eveyone every few years that says how much you get if you retire, how much if you are disabled, and how much the kids get if you die. I thought the numbers for the kids if I died would be the same if disabled, but if I am disabled it's less......which makes sense because of the total family benefit. If I'm dead, SSA doesn't have to pay me so there would be more left to pay the kids.
