The federal Social Security Administration (SSA) covers disabled survivors of workers who were insured by Social Security disability. Beneficiaries of survivors' benefits may be of a variety of ages and marital statuses. Eligibility requirements are determined by the Code of Federal Regulations.
For instance, if a husband and father was disabled and approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, his surviving spouse and children might collect on his behalf. If the surviving parties are disabled themselves, certain SSA requirements will be waived or adjusted. The
surviving disabled spouse can receive benefits if she is between 50 and 59 years old (as opposed to spouses who are not disabled and must be 60 or over). A disability lawyer can tell you more.

When you are interviewing
Social Security Disability attorneys ask critical questions, like: how many Social Security Disability hearings do you have per month; do you understand the
SSA's POMS (the manual Social Security employees use to process claims); and, do you understand the date last insured and how it affects my disability onset date? Contact disability attorneys LaVan & Neidenberg for assistance with filing or appealing a disability claim -
