Q: if my son is getting money from my SSD check.Will his part be returned to me once he turns 18
will his part of the money go back into my check once he is no longer getting the money from my SSD
A: No. There are two limits on SSDI benefits - your individual max (PIA) and family max. In order to get dependent benefits your family max must be higher than you PIA. For example, PIA (800) Family max (800), in this situation there would be no dependent benefits. But if your PIA was (1000) and Family Max was (1500) there would be $500 in dependent benefits. But you are only entitled to these benefits for dependents. So once your child turns 18 those benefits will stop. You need to consult with a local security attorney to get an answer more specific to your actual situation.
