Do the children of disabled person get a check as well?

SSI is the federal welfare program which only pays benefits to people who are blind, disabled or over age 64. Doesn't pay benefits to dependents unless the dependents are also disabled.

Only if you were entitled to SSDI (social security - SSI isn't social security) would a monthly benefit be payable to the custodial parent if the child is under age 18. The child would receive a benefit directly if age 18 and a full-time high school student OR the child became disabled before age 22.

If a child is entitled to a benefit and you are responsible for paying child support you would contact the court to consider a change in the amount of the child support taking into account your income and the income of the child.

If a child is entitled to social security benefits (not SSI benefits) the income of the non-disabled parent or stepparent is of no consideration in determining how much the child is going to receive.

If you are on SSI there are no benefits for your children unless they themselves are disabled and the custodial parent applies for the child or children. But even then your children's SSI benefits would be unrelated to yours.

However, you can bring your most recent SSI award letter to court and ask the judge to revise the support order as you are now on SSI.

(If you are in fact receiving Social Security ask another question as the considerations for Social Security are very different from SSI.)

SSI recipient dependents do not get anything

SSDI recipient dependents get some assistance until they are 18, out of high school, or eligible for DAC

other parent's income will only affect SSI recipient if they are married & can cause a reduction or loss of benefit
