When you’re disabled and can no longer work, you need financial assistance to support you and your family’s daily needs. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers the following benefits to individuals and their families who are qualified:

Disability benefits:

If you can no longer work and have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death

Spouse benefits:

If your spouse is age 62 or older; or your spouse, at any age, if he or she is caring for a child of yours who is younger than age 16 or disabled; or if you are a disabled widow or widower between the age of 50 and 60

Child benefits:

Your unmarried child, including an adopted child, or, in some cases, a stepchild or grandchild who is younger than age 18 or younger than age 19 if in elementary or secondary school full time; or your unmarried child, age 18 or older, if he or she has a disability that started before age 22 (the child’s disability also must meet the definition of disability for adults)
