It will come as a 1099 and will be in the childs name. If the earnings are under a certain dollar amount (it was 700 last year) then nothing needs to be filed.</end quote></div>

This really upsets me because when I signed up they told me I could not use my father's credits. Even though I was a nurse, I would draw twice as much if not three times more on my dad. He is deceased and I knew about survivors benefits. They told me I couldn't because I was married. I drew SSI when I turned 17 because they told me I couldn't draw on him due to being married then....are they cheating me, can I do something about it? Our baby is gonna be born in August and I was wondering how it all worked with the signing up part, thanks ladies for the help.

Julie if you are sure about this, is there anything I can do to get this corrected and draw on my dad? It would literally help me so very much. We have had it very hard since I had to quit working and my SSA is not even a quarter of what I made as a RN.

Rebecca, I'll let Julie answer your question, but are you receiving SSDI (on disability) or SSA, or both? That may make a difference in drawing off of your dad's.

What is SSA exactly? I know I used to draw the one that you get if you never worked at all, is that the one you are referring to as SSA. Here I think everyone refers to it as SSI, Suplemental Security Income....I am not sure about that though. Let me explain fully so maybe you guys can give me a better answer.

When I was 11 years old, my father died. My brother and I began drawing his survivor benefits. I had not been diagnosed with CF yet.

When I was 16 I got married. Lost my dad's benefits.

When I was 17 diagnosed with CF and docs told me I could get my disability. So I went and signed up at the SS office and they told me I couldn't draw off my dad no matter what because I was married. I got the very small amount, the supplemental kind. (It was the medical part that I really needed)

I started college and graduated later as a RN, worked for several years, almost 10 total and my lung function is pretty low, my docs recommend I give up work and go on disability to enjoy my remaining years. So I signed up for SSDI because I had the work credits, I again asked them about my dad and even my husband and they said I couldn't draw on them, so I am very confused. Do I need to dig out my papers and see what specific type of benefit I am getting?

Becca,

I know Julie will be able to help you more but I wanted to give you my story to see if we are alike any that could help you.

My dad died when I was 16, I recieved benefits from him passing that went to my mom until I was 18 I believe. I got married at 20 and at 24 is when I applied for disability and was no longer able to work. At first I was of course denied and had to reapply again. When I was approved they said that I was going to be recieveing benefits of a certain amount and that it had to do with the help of using my dads work credits.

I was married at the time, later divorced and now am remarried again and nothing has changed with it. Now I recieve SS disability not SSI. Why dont you give SS a call tomm and just run it past them. Ask them why you are not able to use surviors benefits. You never know until you ask.
