Attention Caregivers:
SSDI Benefits For Dependents With Special Needs May Not Last Forever!
Caregivers of dependents with special needs who receive Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits must fully understand the nature, scope and duration of these benefits to effectively plan for the financial future of their dependent. When SSDI benefits are payable based on a caregiver’s working record to their adult dependent with special needs, the Social Security Administration (SSA )considers this type of benefit as a “child’s” benefit. It is this form of eligibility that this article will address.
