Can someone explain this and also tell me approx. how much they receive. My kids are 1 and 3 so do I just put it in a college fund for them? If it helps my Social security statement says the following:
Disability
If I become Disabled right now my payment would be about $1254
Survives:
My Child $963
My spouse caring for my child $963
Total family benefits can not be more than $2336
Any explanation will help. My children are not disabled so I am not sure what this means.
Thanks!

kelley,i think you might have set a new record for being awarded ssdi benefits in the shortest time.in only a few short month's since applying you were awarded benefits???that is really amazing when you consider that there are people on this forum who have been waiting years with many denials and appeals trying to win benefits.congrats and consider your self to be very lucky....
