    What Happens When A Child Receiving Benefits Turns 18?

    Since disabled children under the age of 18 normally do not hold down substantial employment, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has a different standard to determine eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). To determine whether an 18-year-old person is eligible for SSDI or SSI, the SSA will have to determine whether there exists a:

    “Medically determinable physical or mental impairment which results in marked and severe functional limitations, and which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or is expected to last a continuous period of not less than 12 months.”

    Childhood Continuing Disability Reviews

    If your child has a condition that may improve, he or she may have to undergo a childhood continuing disability review. If the condition is not likely to improve, your child may or may not have to undergo such an evaluation.

    Do You Have Other Options?

    In most instances, child disability benefits will cease once your child reaches the age of 18. There are times, under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), when your child may be able to extend disability benefits up until the age of 21.

    Children eligible for child’s benefits one month before their 18th birthday must be redetermined to be eligible under the adult disability standard within 12 months of that date. You need to work with your doctor to ensure that your child continues to receive benefits. If your child stopped seeing the doctor, you must resume immediately. If you fail to redetermine eligibility, your child will have to begin the application process again.

    Why Our Clients Trust Us

    My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

    My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

    This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

    This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

    I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

    You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
