Children younger than age 18 who are blind or have a disability may receive SSI payments if they have limited income and resources. We also consider the income and resources of family members living in the child’s household.
If you are a parent, guardian, caregiver, or representative of someone who you think may be eligible, visit our SSI page to learn more about SSI for children and how to apply. You can also use our online tool to check eligibility for benefits.
