We filed, were denied at first, waited almost 20 months for a hearing.
A fully favorable decision was received. However, as retired older parents I was reading a booklet on benefits and from what I read if our disabled child marry's, she is 20, she will lose her benefits. She has been disabled from childhood, is receiving based on her fathers earnings. I am concerned now...does this means she has to be alone for her life, we are in our 60's and worried that all this was for nothing if she marrys and the man can not or will not take care of her. Any other parents out there? This is not SSI, it is off her fathers earnings. |

Wouldn't her disability status transfer to her as an adult at some point??
If she is disabled as a child and no improvement seems like it should carry forward..without having to apply and be approved again?

Agree w/davOD. If you cannot find an answer from the link he/she posted, you need to get in touch w/SS directly. Only they can give you a clearer answer. HTH

No it is not SSI,
SSDI Based on not her own work history, but her fathers. We applied as a child at 2008 but we earned to much. Her dad retired 20010 and she was collecting on his benefits until she graduated (2014) unrelated to her disability. She was receiving medicade for her disability, no food stamps, no cash as she lived with us and even at 21 our income was used, even though we are on social security. When she would be graduating high school, we were told to apply for disability as a child under 22. We did, and were denied at first, but over 3 years later after she was 21 she was awarded SSDI disability as a child based on her dad's earnings. Jo, even though she is now 21, she was disabled before 22, they deemed back in 2008 in grade school was the disability start date. She is 21 now, never was able to go to a reg school after 2008, never drove, worked, or had social life due to the disability. But the way I am reading, even thought she received a favorable award, if she marry's she will lose it...I am so confused. We are into our 60's what if she meets a friend and they want to marry, will that stop her income, surely she could possible improve as she gets older, but we can't predict that. Even if she does, it may be a menial job to just be not around the public or from home. I am concerned. Maybe I can get a call into the attorney, I know he use to work for social security. Let you know if I do get an answer. If I call Soc Sec I am on hold 1 1/2 hrs and if I call three times get three answers. Di

Di "If he or she receives benefits as an adult disabled since childhood, the benefits generally end if he or she gets married. However, some marriages (for example, to another adult disabled child) are considered protected. The rules vary depending on the situation. Contact a Social Security representative at 1-800-772-1213 (If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call TTY number 1-800-325-0778) to find out if the benefits can continue.

If you go the atty route, make sure atty specializes in SSDI cases only. I would also discuss w/atty regarding setting up some sort of trust fund for your daughter's future to care for her after you & hubby are no longer around to care for her. Do a Google search: "Special Needs Trust" Loads of info. Again, your best bet would be to deal w/an atty. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I see it states "could" lose it... as in may or may not...
So it might depend on if future spouse has high income, but really that only would seem to fit if a SSI issue (income based) not a disability issue..
