Children are eligible for social security benefits. Children can be eligible for SSI which entitles them to Medicaid, and can be entitled to social security based on their parent’s account under certain situations, and can as adult children went when they hit age 18 be eligible for social security under certain situations. You should always consult a lawyer who is familiar with and has a lot of social security law experience. They are very difficult cases and most judges are very reluctant to grant children disability. So I recommend that you talk with someone that is familiar and knows the area of law as it relates to children and disability.
