Government disability benefit for children

[Dave]

These are benefits paid due to a child that has a qualifying disability.  Please check Social Security to see if they qualify.

A child who is disabled may depend on your help for the rest of their lives. Social Security has two programs that pay disability benefits to disabled children: Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
