I suggest you find your paperwork, or call the offices you have talked with and ask for copies of your paperwork.
Then you will know more about your case/claim/status.
Or signing up online might be an option to see your records/paperwork.

There just isn't enough basic info on your case/claim for anyone to help you, so we can't really answer your questions.

You paperwork does not state your disability on it. I think that would be discrimination per ADA.

Neither does one's online account.

And those that receive SSI often automatically qualify for many welfare programs (it varies by state) like SNAP.

I have been told many times that family member do not receive any benefits at all. Unless they also qualify as disabled under the SSA criteria. My wife is disabled. Just not under SSA standards. At least at this time.

I would never get disability for my children! There is a mandated treatment program. I don't want the government telling me how to raise my kids.

I provided a link. If you read it, you would understand I was not suggesting that you have your children apply for disability, but rather that SS provides additional funds for a beneficiary's children and/or spouse caring for children. There is no requirement that the children be disabled, or receive treatment, and nor will the government tell you "how to raise them" anymore than a citizen not receiving benefits. The money needs to be spent on them and not on the other adults living with you, but that is not an unreasonable expectation. If you are unable to manage how the benefits are spent, a representative payee should be considered.

If you are unable to understand this information, than contact SS directly or an advocate. If you have a legitimate claim, your children could be entitled to substantial backpay.

When an applicant is awarded a Fully Favorable decision, it states what disability or disabilities qualified them for benefits.

My award letter gave no indication of the reason for why I was being given disability. I can only guess, I have a long psychiatric history with a laundry list of maladies ranging from bi polar to major depression, narcolepsy, anxiety, social phobia it goes on and on but on no paperwork from SSA did it ever say expressly what reason I was considered disabled.

It's coded at the bottom if not stated directly in the decision.

I've heard others say that before, but seriously there is no code, no letters no numbers, no bar code, nothing, no indication whatsoever on my letter stating why I was awarded SSDI. Its just says "based on our findings you are disabled" and later its says a "review will be done in 5 to seven years." Thats it. No reason given.

My official approval letter did not state my disabilities on it either. But there is a barcode on the side and a small QR box on each page,, maybe that is their coding?? The letter I received telling me that I met the medical requirements did in fact list all of my disabilities on it.

when you get a long form or short form cdr it will defintely have the disability codes on there.
