How much do children get from my SSDI benefit?
 

Hi, I'm in California, I thought my kids were entitled to half of my monthly benefit. I have three that were on my original application from 2006, now one of my daughter's is an adult,today she filed in person for her back-pay at my local SSD office. I
I was told the kids only get 1/3(think thats the number), the lady said they wont get half of my benefits.

Does anyone know how much children can get?

Thanks

if you have three children they get 1/3 each of half of your amount up until they graduate high school. when one ages ove,r the other two then get half of your half etc. It also depends on how much money you earned since 22. If it doesnt reach a certain threshold then it could be less than half of what you get.

Echoes,

Do you know what the threshold is?
