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 Apply for Disability Benefits - Child (Under Age 18) webpage to learn how to apply.
