How does a child receive social security benefits

Parents and Guardians | SSA

With you through life’s journey...

The makeup of American families has changed in the last 20 to 30 years. Today, family units are diverse, rich in culture, and may include two parents, same-sex parents, only one parent, grandparents, and other relatives. Social Security knows that whether single parent, blended, diverse, small or large, every family is important.

For more than 80 years, Social Security has helped families secure today and tomorrow by providing financial benefits, tools, and programs that help support millions throughout life’s journey. Our programs and services have evolved to meet your unique family needs and especially the children in your care.

We are there from day one

Getting your child a Social Security number should be near the top of the list of things you need to do as a new parent or guardian. Your child's Social Security number is the first step in ensuring valuable protection for any benefits they may be eligible for in the future.

You’ll need your child’s Social Security number to claim them as a dependent on your income tax return or open a bank account in the child’s name and buy savings bonds. Your child’s Social Security number is also necessary to obtain medical coverage or apply for any kind of government services for your child.

Most people apply for their child’s Social Security number at birth, usually at the hospital. When the time comes for your child’s first job, the number is already in place. For more information on getting your child a Social Security number and card, check out Social Security Numbers for Children.

A fun bonus of assigning Social Security numbers at birth is that we know the most popular baby names, which we announce each year. On our website, you can find the top baby names for the last 100 years.

We’re there with support if you’re raising a grandchild…

More and more grandparents are finding themselves raising their grandchildren. Social Security will pay benefits to grandchildren when the grandparent retires, becomes disabled, or dies, if certain conditions are met. Generally, the biological parents of the child must be deceased or disabled, or the grandparent must legally adopt the grandchild.

To receive this benefit, your grandchild must have begun living with you before age 18 and received at least one half of his or her support from you for the year before the month you became entitled to retirement or disability insurance benefits, or died. Also, the natural parent(s) of the child must not be making regular contributions to his or her support.

If your grandchild was born during the one-year period, you must have lived with and provided at least one-half of the child's support for substantially the entire period from the date of birth to the month you became entitled to benefits.

Your grandchild may qualify for benefits under these circumstances, even if he or she is a step-grandchild. However, if you and your spouse are already receiving benefits, you would need to adopt the child for them to qualify for benefits.

We’re there when they get their first job

Once your child starts working and throughout their career, employers will verify their Social Security number to help reduce fraud and improve the accuracy of their earnings records.

Employers collect FICA, or Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholdings, and report earnings electronically. This is how we verify earnings and is how your child earns Social Security retirement, disability, and survivors coverage.

Once they turn 18, they can open a my Social Security account and watch their personal earnings and future benefits grow over time.

We’re there to help if disability strikes…

As a working parent, your earnings can become a source of Social Security protection for your family. If you retire or become disabled and unable to work, your earnings would be partially replaced by your monthly Social Security benefit payments.

A child who is disabled may depend on your help for a lifetime. When you start receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits, your family members also may be eligible for payments. If you are a parent, caregiver, or representative of a child younger than age 18 who has a disability, your child may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. More information is provided in the Benefits for Children with Disabilities booklet.

For children 18 years or older who have been disabled before the age of 22 and continue to be disabled, Social Security benefits may be paid to them if you retire, become disabled, or die. Social Security benefits for disabled children may continue as long as they are unable to work because of their disability.

Additionally, you can find information on the specific benefits and qualifications in the Disability Benefits publication.

We’re there to provide comfort during difficult times…

The loss of a parent or guardian can be both emotionally and financially difficult. Social Security helps by providing benefits to help stabilize the family’s financial future. Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits.

In fact, 98 of every 100 children could get benefits if a working parent dies. And Social Security pays more benefits to children than any other federal program.

Providing protection for parents too…

Even if you have never worked in a job covered by Social Security, as a parent, there are two ways that you may still qualify for benefits.

If you are a parent and take care of your child who receives Social Security benefits and is under age 18, you can get benefits until your child reaches age 16. Your child's benefit will continue until he or she reaches age 18, or 19 if he or she is still in school full time. Your monthly payments stop with the child’s 16th birthday, unless your child is disabled and stays in your care.
If you are a parent who receives most of your support from your adult child, and your child dies, Social Security also pays monthly benefits to you under the following conditions:

You must be at least 62 years old and must not have remarried since the worker (your child)'s death
You cannot be entitled to your own, higher Social Security benefit; and
You must be able to show that you received one-half of your financial support from the worker at the time of their death. You must submit this proof of support to Social Security within two years of the worker's death.

We are there for those who need it most…

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program helps children with qualifying disabilities by providing critical financial assistance. Children and youth with specific medical conditions—whose families meet certain income and resource limits—can receive SSI from birth until age 18.

If you think your child or someone you know could be eligible for SSI, visit our webpage SSI Eligibility for Children to learn more and apply.

Assisting Youths with Disabilities Transition to Adulthood

The transition to adulthood is one of the most important periods in life’s journey. For foster children living with a disability, it can be even more challenging. Turning 18 triggers an important change in SSI benefits: Social Security must make a new determination on their SSI eligibility using the adult disability standards. About one-in-three such beneficiaries lose their SSI benefits.

Social Security Children's Benefits: How They Work

Social Security is usually associated with monthly payments to retirees. However, there is another important facet of Social Security benefits—providing financial assistance to children. Children may qualify for benefits if a parent is retired, disabled, or deceased.

Children who are disabled may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a separate program that's also run by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Here's the lowdown on who qualifies for what.

Key Takeaways

Children may be eligible for Social Security payments based on a parent's work record.
For a child to qualify, the parent must be retired, disabled, or deceased.
Children who are disabled may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income, a separate program that's also run by the Social Security Administration.
Children can receive survivor benefits until the age of 18 or 19 if still in primary or secondary school.
The maximum family Social Security benefit ranges from 150% to 180% of the original payee's benefit.

How Children Qualify for Social Security Benefits

Eligible children can collect Social Security benefits based on a parent's work record. The parent must have earned enough Social Security credits. Biological or adopted children or stepchildren can be eligible for Social Security benefits if they meet the following criteria:

Have a parent who is disabled or retired and eligible for Social Security benefits
Are unmarried
Are younger than 18 or are between ages 18 and 19 and are full-time high school students
Are 18 or older and disabled (as long as the disability began before they turned age 22)

The requirements for Social Security survivor benefits are similar, except that the parent must be deceased for the child to qualify.

Grandchildren or step-grandchildren can sometimes collect survivor benefits under certain circumstances.

SSI Benefits for Children

Supplemental Security Income is a separate program for Americans with limited incomes and few other resources. Recipients must generally be 65 or older, blind, or disabled. But SSI is also available to children under age 18 in certain cases. To qualify for SSI benefits:

The child must have a physical or mental impairment (or impairments) that results in marked and severe functional limitations.
The impairment or impairments must have lasted or be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months or be expected to result in death. In the case of blindness, that duration requirement doesn't apply.
A child who isn't blind must not earn more than $1,350 per month. A child who is blind must not earn more than $2,260 per month.

Decisions for granting SSI can take time. However, if a child has qualifying conditions, the Social Security Administration may begin making payments while an application is under review.

How Much Do Children Receive in Social Security Benefits?

A child may receive a Social Security benefit equal to 50% of the parent’s full retirement benefit or disability benefit. If the parent is deceased, the child is eligible to receive up to 75% of the parent’s full retirement benefit.

There is a limit to the total amount that a family can receive from Social Security based on one worker's earnings record, though. The maximum family benefit typically ranges from 150% to 180% of the parent's full benefit amount. The formula for maximum family benefits is based on a retired parent's work record. If the parent is disabled, a different formula applies.

$2.92 billion

The total average amount of monthly Social Security benefits paid to children as of 2022. Approximately 4.97 million children received benefits each month.

If the amount due to the entire family surpasses the maximum, some individual payments will be proportionately reduced. As an example, consider a retiree named June, who has a dependent child, Ruth, who is also eligible for benefits. June's full retirement amount is $1,500 per month, and her family maximum is $2,300 per month. June would receive her full $1,500, while her spouse, John, and daughter Ruth would split the remaining $800 payment, each receiving $400.

SSI benefits are determined by a different calculation, and the maximum benefit changes each year. Some states also supplement SSI. In addition, a disabled child who collects SSI may also be eligible for Medicaid to help pay for medical bills.

How to Receive Benefits

You can apply for benefits by calling 800-772-1213 or by visiting your local Social Security office. Applications for children's benefits are not accepted online. However, you may apply online for SSI for children.

The family must present the child's birth certificate, the parents' Social Security numbers (SSNs), and the child's Social Security number. Additional documents may also be required. In relevant cases, the applicant must provide a parent's death certificate and/or evidence of disability from a doctor.

If you are taking care of a child and are receiving Social Security benefits for that reason, the child's benefits may stop at a different time from your own. For example, if your child is not disabled, your benefits will end when the child turns 16 years old. If the child is disabled and you are responsible for them, your benefits may continue. For these types of specific circumstances, it’s best to contact the Social Security Administration for guidance.

If your child is disabled, the Social Security Administration offers a Disability Starter Kit that can help you navigate the process of applying for benefits.

How Soon Can Survivor Benefits for Children Be Started?

To initiate survivor benefits for children, an application and supporting documentation must be supplied to the Social Security Administration. How quickly benefits begin depends on how long it takes the agency to determine eligibility and for the applicant to submit the required documentation. However, benefits cannot be paid for the month in which the recipient died.

How Do You Use Social Security Benefits for Children of Disabled Parents?

Social security benefits for children can be used to care for their basic needs and to cover their share of living expenses. For example, it can be used for food, school supplies, rent or mortgage, and utilities.

When Do Survivor Benefits End for the Parent With Children?

Survivor benefits for the surviving child's parent end when the child turns 16. However, if the child is disabled and remains in their care, the benefits may continue indefinitely.

Pregnancy

Monthly allowance upon registration in the antenatal clinic

It is beneficial for the state that children are born healthy. For this, a pregnant woman needs to visit a doctor, take tests, do an ultrasound - all this helps to detect and eliminate problems in the development of the child in time. So that pregnant women do not delay a visit to the doctor, the state is ready to pay them money for early registration for pregnancy - up to 12 weeks, but only for those who have a low level of income.

So what? 07/01/21

Maternity allowance in 2022: basic conditions

How much. 50% of the subsistence minimum in the region where the woman lives. On average, 7586 R, but depending on the region, the amount will be more or less. For example, in the Belgorod region it is 6372.5 R, and in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - 8420.5 R.

Living wages for the able-bodied population by region

Who is supposed to. Pregnant women can apply for this benefit if the following conditions are met:

The 12th week of pregnancy has come.
The average per capita income for each family member does not exceed the subsistence level.
The family does not have "excess property". If a family owns several apartments and their total area is such that each family member has more than 24 m², then the allowance will not be given. Three cars in a family is also grounds for denial of benefits.
Family members have income or objective reasons why they do not have this income. This is called the “zero income rule”: help those who are trying to provide for themselves and their families, and not those who want to live only on benefits. There may be no income, for example, if a woman was on parental leave for up to 3 years. This is a good reason for the lack of income.

Self-employed women can also receive this allowance if they meet the above conditions.

How to get. To do this, you need to go to the local gynecologist in the first three months and get a card. Then you will need to submit an application through the public services website or in person to the FIU branch of your region.

No proof of pregnancy or income is required. The FIU will request information itself, but sometimes confirmation is required if there is not enough information in the databases.

You can apply from the 6th week of pregnancy. But the allowance will come only from the 12th week - monthly until the month of childbirth.

To receive benefits on the card, a pregnant woman will have to get a Mir payment system card. Details are indicated in the application.

/pregnancy-money/

All benefits for pregnancy and childbirth

Additional allowance in Moscow for pregnant women. In the capital, pregnant women with a Moscow residence permit who are registered with Moscow medical organizations up to 20 weeks of pregnancy will be paid a lump sum by social security 690 R.

How parents can get money from the state

Pregnancy

Maternity allowance

In everyday life, this money is called "maternity". The allowance is paid once before going on maternity leave to compensate the woman for the loss of salary before and after the birth of the child.

According to the law, you can go on maternity leave at 30 weeks - this is the seventh month of pregnancy. In some cases, earlier. At the antenatal clinic, they will write out a sick leave, which will need to be given to the employer, and if the sheet is electronic, then report its number.

/guide/dekretnyj-otpusk/

How to apply for maternity leave

How much. The minimum amount of maternity leave for those working under an employment contract is 70,324.8 R for the entire period of sick leave, the maximum for 140 days of the decree is 360,164 R.

To receive payments, the expectant mother must bring a sick leave or report the number of an electronic disability certificate. The accounting department will take the data from the sick leave, transfer the information to the FSS, and the latter will pay benefits. Maternity leave can only be obtained in three ways:

to the Mir card;
to a bank account to which no card is linked;
by postal order.

Who is supposed to. All pregnant women working under an employment contract, full-time students, female civil servants, municipal employees, military personnel.

Dismissed women can receive the benefit if their employer ceased operations and dismissed employees, and they were registered with the employment service within a year. True, the amount in this case will be quite symbolic.

How to get. The allowance is issued on the basis of a sick leave issued by an obstetrician-gynecologist. A woman must write an application addressed to the employer and attach a sick leave to it. Since 2022, this allowance has been transferred without any application at all.

RF GD dated 11/23/2021 No. 2010PDF, 1.2 MB

How to receive a salary while on maternity leave. It is impossible to be on maternity leave and work under an employment contract at the same time, but an employer can conclude a civil law contract with a pregnant employee, according to which she has the right to work remotely. You need to choose one thing. A woman may not go on maternity leave if she does not want to. Or get out of it even immediately after giving birth - if, for example, you are ready to work remotely.

A woman with IP status can also receive maternity leave, if she voluntarily insured herself with the FSS. This must be done in the previous year before the year of pregnancy and insurance premiums must be paid. To do this, we multiply the minimum wage by 2.9% - this is the percentage rate of the social insurance contribution. Then we multiply the received amount by 12 months.

/dekret-abroad/

How to go on maternity leave from abroad

To go on maternity leave in 2023 and receive benefits, you need to pay 4833. 72 rubles to the FSS in 2022.

The number 4833.62 was taken from the formula: 13,890 R × 2.9% × 12 months, where 13,890 R is the minimum wage from January 1 to May 31, 2022, 2.9% is the contribution rate to the Social Insurance Fund.

In districts and localities where district coefficients are applied to wages, they are also taken into account when calculating the payment in the FSS.

The contribution can be paid in one payment, or in installments, but not before December 31, 2022. When it comes time to apply for maternity leave, the entrepreneur will submit an application for the grant and sick leave to the FSS, and in return she will receive 70,324.8 R or a little more on her card if the minimum wage is increased.

How can an individual entrepreneur receive maternity payments?

Maternity benefits are not subject to personal income tax - the expectant mother will receive the entire amount without deducting 13%.

How to get the maximum maternity pay

You need to work under an employment contract, and the salary should be white, not gray.
The average monthly salary for two years must not be lower than 78,250 R before deducting personal income tax.
If you work in several places at the same time, each employer will pay maternity leave, but on the condition that you have worked at another place of work for at least two years. In this case, ask the antenatal clinic to write out a sick leave for each place of work.
If you have changed jobs in the last two years, take a salary certificate from your previous job in the form 182n. Your employer will take this earnings into account when calculating maternity leave.
If the maternity pay period fell on another maternity or parental benefit period, you can replace it with previous years to account for wages and get more money.

At birth

Lump sum at birth

When a child is born, the state compensates parents for part of the costs. Moreover, one of the parents can receive this money, regardless of who exactly goes on parental leave.

The size of the salary doesn't matter either. Even the unemployed will be paid.

/guide/moneyforborn/

How to get benefits when a child is born

How much. From February 1, 2022 - 20,472.77 R. Guardians, trustees or adoptive parents will receive the same amount. If they take a child over 7 years old, or relatives, or a disabled child, the amount of the payment is 156,428.66 R.

Regional allowances. Regions add their own payments to the lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child. To receive them, one of the parents and the child must be registered in this region.

For example, in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, when registering the birth of a child in the registry office of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the region pays 20,000 RUR.

In St. - 46 372 R, for the third and subsequent children - 57 962 R. This card can be used to pay for the purchase of children's goods in most large stores in the city.

Who is supposed to. One of the child's parents. If both work - dad or mom, by choice. If the parents are unemployed, you can also choose who exactly will apply. If only one person works, he will receive the money, there are no options. For example, dad has an employment contract, but mom doesn’t. The allowance will be paid to the father of the child, but the mother will not be able to issue it.

If the parents are not married, the person with whom the child lives will receive the money, regardless of employment.

How to get. The payment is made by one of the parents at the place of work. A certificate is required from the second parent that he did not receive this payment.

If both parents are unemployed, the allowance is issued in the pension fund at the place of residence.

Regional Newborn Boxes

Newborn Box available in select regions. This is a gift set that is given to parents or adoptive parents upon discharge from the maternity hospital. This box contains baby clothes, accessories for feeding, swaddling, bathing.

Kit varies by region. The conditions for issuance also differ. In Samara, such a gift is given to mothers who have given birth to their first child. In Tatarstan, the set is given to low-income families. In Vologda, you can get a box for every newborn.

What to do? 02/21/19

How to get the status of a low-income family and why

In Moscow, they give a “Sobyanin box” to all parents, regardless of their place of residence, but subject to two conditions:

Their children were born in Moscow maternity hospitals.
They received their birth certificate in Moscow.

You can pick up a set of things "Our Treasure" not only upon discharge, but also at the department of social protection of the population at the place of residence or stay in Moscow of one of the parents. But the term is limited to two months. You will need to write an application, as well as submit documents that parents did not receive such a set at the maternity hospital.

From February 18, 2020, instead of a set of things, parents can receive compensation of 20,000 R. The amount is paid for each child born. If at least one of the parents is registered in Moscow, the payment is processed at the regional department of social protection of the population.

If there is no registration, and only the birth of a child is registered in Moscow, then parents should contact the My Documents public services center. The decision on payment is made within 10 days, and the payment itself is transferred in the next month.

Additional benefits in Moscow at the birth of a child

One-time compensation payment for reimbursement of expenses in connection with the birth (adoption) of a child. It can be issued by one of the parents, one of the adoptive parents (the only adoptive parent), the child's guardian - Russians, foreign citizens and stateless persons living in Moscow. To do this, you need to have a Moscow residence permit.

6313 RUR will be paid for the first child, 16 642 RUR each for the second and subsequent ones. In case of birth or adoption of three or more children at the same time, 57 383 RUR will be paid. If both parents are under the age of 36 at the time of the birth of the child and the family income per person is not more than the subsistence level, the city will pay an additional 93,570 R for the first child, 130,998 R for the second, 187,140 R for the third and subsequent. Citizens registered in New Moscow will also receive these payments.

Appendix 1
to the Decree of the Government of Moscow dated May 27, 2021 No. 718-PP

Up to 1.5 years

Benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years

When a mother's maternity leave is over, the next one can begin - to care for a child. During this period, a parent or other person who sits with a child is assigned an allowance - but only up to one and a half years. Leave with the preservation of the workplace and position can last up to three years.

Benefits can be received not only by the employed, but also by the unemployed: difference in amounts and execution. And you can also combine child care and work duties and, in addition to payments from the budget, receive a salary at work.

/guide/iz-dekreta/

How to get out of the decree

How much. 40% of the average salary for the previous two years. The minimum is 7677.81 R. The maximum in 2022 is 31,282.82 R: such a benefit will be paid if your average salary for 2020 and 2021 is more than 78,250 R. In fact, when assigning benefits, they calculate the average daily earnings - the same as well as for maternity leave.

Benefits and their calculated data for 2019-2022 — “Consultant Plus”

Who is entitled to. Mother, father or other adult caring for the child. It could also be a grandmother. Only one person will receive the benefit. Vacation can be taken in turn: for example, first mom, then father, and then grandmother.

How to get. They make payments at the place of work, and if the mother or father is unemployed, an application must be submitted to the social security at the place of residence.

How to get a job and keep your monthly allowance

During parental leave, a mother cannot work full time or she will lose her monthly allowance. At the same time, the law allows you to work part-time or work from home. And there is one trick here.

Judging by article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, part-time work can be considered both part-time and part-time work.

Since a full working day is 8 hours and a full working week is 40 hours, the parties must find an option for the employee to work a little or the prescribed 8 hours every day, but not on all days of the week.

Here it is necessary to take into account the position of the FSS and the Supreme Court - the child care allowance compensates for lost earnings. If the mother has not lost her earnings, then she has nothing to compensate. Sometimes the assigned allowance is even cancelled.

Instead of a mother, a father can apply for parental leave plus part-time work in exactly the same way.

If both spouses do not want to lose in wages, they can apply for an allowance for working grandparents.

Putin's payments

On January 1, 2018, the law on monthly payments to families with children came into force. According to it, you can receive a monthly payment for the first or second child. This is not maternity leave or a child care allowance, but an additional measure of support.

People call the new allowance "Putin's payments". They do not replace, overlap or cancel other benefits. The payment is not provided as a one-time payment, but is paid every month to the bank card of the mother - or father, if the mother has died or she has been deprived of parental rights.

/money-for-baby/

How I got Putin's payments per child

Putin's allowance is one regional living wage per child per month. When applying for payment in 2022, the allowance will be assigned in the amount of the subsistence minimum for the current year. For example, in Moscow it will be R17,791, in Novosibirsk it will be R14,562, and in Vladivostok it will be R17,628.

Parents whose first or second child was born or adopted after January 1, 2018 can receive payments. Guardians can also claim payments - in the event of the death of parents or adoptive parents, they are declared dead, deprivation of parental rights, or in case of cancellation of adoption.
The applicant must be a citizen of Russia and permanently reside in the territory of the Russian Federation.
The child must be a citizen of Russia. For example, if the birth was in the Russian Federation, but both parents are foreign citizens, then by default the child is not granted Russian citizenship.
The average per capita family income for the billing period is no more than two regional subsistence minimums for the current year for the able-bodied population. The billing period is 12 months preceding the 6 months prior to the circulation month.

GD of the Novosibirsk Region dated May 31, 2022 No. 250-p

For the first child, the payment is made in social security. On the second - in the pension fund, because it will reduce maternity capital.

The allowance is granted for up to one year, and then it must be extended to two and three years.

Money can now be received only on the Mir card or on an account that is not linked to any cards.
