Sacramento Social Security Disability Attorneys
If you are disabled and are unable to work, it is important that you get the benefits you need to support yourself. It is also important for you to support your family members, and many disabled individuals ask our firm if their families will be able to receive benefits. Yes. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to qualified individuals, as well as to their family members.
At Milam Law, in Northern California, we know how important it is for our clients to recover benefits in a timely and complete fashion. When you apply and file your claim, you need to pursue benefits for all eligible family members, particularly minor children. Our lawyers have decades of experience handling Social Security disability (SSD) claims and can help you apply for the full amount of benefits your family deserves.

Modesto Family Benefit Lawyers
The following family members of a disabled person may qualify to receive disability benefits:
- Your spouse, provided he or she is 62 years of age or older
- Your spouse, if he or she is caring for a child of yours who is younger than age 16 or disabled
- An unmarried child, including a child who is adopted, and is under the age of 18
- An unmarried child, age 18 or older, if he or she has a disability that began before the age of 22
Each family member who qualifies for benefits may receive a monthly check for up to 50 percent of the disabled person's monthly benefit. Family member benefits do not reduce the amount paid to the disabled person.
At Milam Law, we assist our clients who are applying for disability to get additional family benefits, where possible. We do not help people already getting Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits in handling the addition of family benefits. But, you can contact the SSA to see if they can be of service to you.
