Social security disability benefits are available to family members, a fact of which many people are unaware. If you qualify for SSDI, certain family members to include spouses, under age children, and even stepchildren or divorced spouses may be able to receive SSDI benefits. The amount family members are awarded does not affect the amount of benefits you receive, however, there is a cap on the amount a family can receive in total.
A disability attorney can advise you of the requirements and the data necessary in order to receive social security disability benefits for family members, and initiate the application process. Common law marriages are not acknowledged in the state of Kentucky, although the state does recognize the validity of such a marriage if originating from a state that does support the common law status. Therefore, a marriage sanctioned by the state of Kentucky is the only one that qualifies under state law for disability benefits. Not formally recognized at this time by the state of Kentucky, domestic partnerships by unmarried couples may have legal options in place, but partners will not qualify for disability benefits under the current law.
