How to get dependant benefits when denied??

Hi, I'm on ssi and ssdi and when I applied for my son to be on my record for ssi and ssdi he got denied as ssa stated I was already receiving the family maximum and that I did not pay enough into the system for my son to qualify. Does anyone know if this is true and also how to go about applying for him this time? Perhaps a seperate application for ssi and ssdi is the way??
Much Appreciated!!

One of these days, I'll feel decent and haul my butt over to the SS office.

I think you should go to your local ss office and make sure they have the paperwork for your son to get benefits and that they have your address, not your ex's to send the checks too.

Good Luck !

Hello to All ;D

I'm considerably confused as far as dependent benefits for my child b/c I applied previously for my son to receive dependent benefits and was denied due to Social Security said I was already receiving the family maximum and that you cannot get benefits for your offspring unless you've paid a certain amount into the system,,, then again I think S.S. has outdated employment info on me based on my old application and what I submitted at that time...
Anyone know what to do to help my son to start to get benefits?
Thanks!

The kids do not get backpay from SSDI. Sorry.

kids do get backpay from ssdi not from ssi.

tracy you may want to check your SSDI claim as if you won and have children and you received backpay, your children should of gotten some backpay as well.
