For Parents of Disabled Children-
Can I receive Social Security disability benefits for my disabled child?

•Income requirements may also need to be met. More information can be obtained on the SSA website.
•Must have a physical or mental condition, or a combination of conditions, that result in “marked and severe functional limitations.”
•Condition must have lasted, or be expected to last, at least 12 months; or must be expected to result in death.
