Can Spouses or Children Get Disability Benefits?
In certain circumstances, spouses and minor children can receive benefits, as can a divorced spouse, for those who were legally married for a minimum of 10 years. There are limits and conditions on these benefits and eligibility for them, however. In the case of an applicant’s death, surviving spouses might also qualify for disability benefits.
