Yes, your child can get a monthly payment if you receive disability benefits. They must be under 18, and stepchildren or adopted children can also qualify for the benefit. If the child is a full-time student in elementary or high school, they can continue to receive benefits until they turn 19. The child will generally be eligible to receive 50% of the parent’s monthly benefit, although the maximum family amount is 150% to 180% of the primary insurance amount. If multiple children are involved, the dependent benefits will be split equally among the children to remain under the family maximum.
