Children with medical conditions that cause marked and severe functional problems may qualify for SSI benefits. This means that the condition(s) must seriously limit your child’s activities. Call us today to learn more about disability benefits for children.
In almost all children’s cases, Social Security examines functional problems and six developmental areas.
To be successful, the level of severity must be “Marked” in at least two areas, or “Extreme” in at least one area. The condition must be disabling, or be expected to be disabling, for at least 12 months or cause death. There are also certain income and resource requirements.
Periodically Social Security will check to see if the child still meets the requirements before rewarding disability benefits for children.
An appeal of a child’s SSI case following a denial or cessation is the same as an appeal in an adult case. But, children’s cases cannot be done online. Your local Social Security office is your source for help.
The whole process of appealing a pending cessation is often overwhelming! If timely requested, benefits can continue while the appeal is being processed.
