Can my children get Social Security benefits based on my work?
Pay attention because this might come in handy!
If you are qualified for Social Security retirement or disability benefits, your unmarried children are also qualified. This goes for biological children, stepchildren or adopted children alike. In fact, even dependent grandchildren may be eligible!
In order to get the benefits, though, the child must be younger than 18 or older than 18 but severely disabled. Every eligible child will get half of your benefit amount each month.

How can I get a grant to help me with medical bills, meds and household exp. ,like food utilities etc.
I filed for ssi in 2017, l was layed off my job in 2016. I made a horrible choice due to depression of losing my job and withdrew funds from my 401k and paid my house off. I turn 65 this year and received letter from ssi saying l would be charged $458.00 a month for medicare based on my 2016 tax return, l cannot afford that. I appealed, went to the ssi office and was told it would be based on my 2017 tax return, but yesterday received a letter stating l would still be charged the $458.00, what can l do now to get the to readjusted based on my 2017 return?
I receive about $620 a month in S.S. From that $83 is taken out for Medicare, which I need desperately. I have an 11 yr old daughter who is in custody of my mother. I want to earn more money and have custody of her one day… I was wondering how much I am permitted to earn each month? Also I need a free, or affordable secondary insurance if possible… I want to take care of my health and find an affordable place of my own. In the long run, I want to become successful enough to not have to rely on S.S. Thank you for your time, I look forward to a response.
