I am sorry, but you don't ask a question. Does this have to do with child support or something else? You really don't say much.
My adult daughter (age 43) sustained a TBI and is not eligible for SSI because she had insufficient employment history when the TBI occurred. Although she lives independently, her long-term disability confounds her navigation of the complex procedures/processes.

I believe you mean your daughter does not qualify for SSDI (which is disability payments for having worked enough and paying into the Social Security system).

If your date last insured in in 2015 then you would have to prove that you became disabled before that date in order to be paid Title 2 disability benefits based on your work history. That can be really difficult but... View More
