Mariel recently heard that Jason may be eligible to receive adult disabled child benefits based upon her Social Security earnings record. While on Facebook, she noticed that I was giving a talk about Adult Disabled Child Benefits and decided to give me a call. > ***Disclaimer: Based on a real case; details changed to protect individuals involved; not legal advice.

Cervoni** **[Want to learn more? ](https://info.cervonidisabilitylaw.com/applying-for-ssdi)Download the [Beginner's Road Map to SSDI](https://info.cervonidisabilitylaw.com/applying-for-ssdi)** We told Mariel that the Social Security Administration considers someone an adult disabled child if the following criteria is met: - The Adult Child is over age 18 - The Adult Child is not married - The Adult Child’s disability began before they were 22 - One of the Adult Child’s parents receives Social Security benefits or is deceased, but at the time of death was insured for Social Security benefits. Since Jason and Mariel met all of the above listed criteria, we assisted them in completing an Adult Disability Report and we filed for benefits on their behalf. Jason now receives monthly benefits that will hopefully help to improve his quality of life.
