Social security benefits explored
Please note that you will not be given backpay for the 5 month waiting period after your onset date. If you have any questions regarding backpay or the length of time it is taking for you to receive your benefits, it may be wise to speak with a social security lawyer. Q: Will your dependents also receive disability payments? A: Certain family members may be eligible to receive benefits, as well. Unmarried children under the age of 18 are eligible. Your children will qualify for benefits until age 19, if they are still students.
