My sister is blind and gets a disablility check for 2000 a month. SHe is married and husband makes good money but I get that she should get help. This is not what I am questioning. Here is what I dont understand, why does THEIR KID get a check for 500 a month because mom is blind?? Now thats messed up to me. You see I am open minded, thats my own family but she is not single and getting a check and husband makes good money!!! AM I missing something?????

yes, steve maybe the child is on ssi for disabitly ? there is something she is not telling you. if a child is getting iss its for only that they have a disabilty or there parent is on disabilty and the parents are divorced so that is a child support payment. or a child also gets it if one parent is no longer with us.
so there is something that she is not telling you. so these are the reasons i know of that children get ssi .
i don't work for them so i don't know all of it but you could call the 1 800 # to find out more info

Reason: opps
well they ask her regularly to show what she is spending the money on, she does not need the money so she dumps it into a college tuition fund. I have no idea why a blind parent;s kid 13 would get money either. The kid is just a brat not disabled.

wow , steve when then find the bank acct with all the money at the end of the year. they will doc her for it because she is not useing it or spending it. ssi doc's my son for not being able to pay rent. so because he can't pay 2,000 a mounth toward the bill they doc him 212.00 a month and then he dosen't pay any. they don't do thing right there. they do crazy thing there so i know what you mean.

First of all.....HUGE difference between SSI ( supplemental security income) and disablility..if she is receiving Social Security Disability she had to of worked at some point in her life and YES her child is entitled to dependent's benefit, that's just the way it is, she is NOT pulling a scam...see link from SS web site:

yes she worked until she went blind, I just did not think the kid would get money. Thanks, what do you think of that idea ? Lets say the mother is married and their income is over 100,000 a year! The kid is getting money?? Do you agree with that?

No I don't. It should be for truly needy dependents. It will stop when he graduates High school, at one time kids could receive this dependent check until they were 23 if a full time student, the gov finally put a stop to that
I think she is entitled because she paid into it prior to loosing her sight. They are sending money to her daughter because she is unable to provide for her. There are millionaires out there who are receiving SSI and disability payms because they paid into it and are entitled. I guess her husband's income is not a factor? Is the husband your neices father?
yes he is! He is a good guy , stayed thru out all her problems. I am not judging her by any means she is my sister. The kid, lets just say I think they could have done a better job parenting, but I am at aloss. I can be too judgemental and I wish I was alittle more compassionate. I am learning those qualities. I have mixed feeling about the kid getting benefits. Just wondering everyones opinion.
