Last SSA wage letter stated if disabled now would receive 1294 per month. I have 4 children.
Any idea on calculations? When to expect back pay?
And taxes to be paid if this is my only income to be received for 2010?
Thanks

"How much can family members get?
Each family member may be eligible for a monthly benefit that is up to half of your retirement or disability benefit amount. However, there is a limit to the total amount of money that can be paid to you and your family. The limit varies, but is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of your retirement or disability benefit."
