Have you heard of the Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) Disabled Adult Child (DAC) program, also called Childhood Disabled Beneficiary (CDB)? Do you know that DAC may provide a person with a disability from 50 to 75% of a parent’s SSA benefit?
Please join health care and benefits administration expert Daniel Fortuño as he explains DAC eligibility, requirements, and benefits, including:
-The parent of the person with the disability must be receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits
-The adult child has an SSA approved disability from age 18 prior to age 22 and may become eligible for Medicare after receiving DAC for at least 2 years
-How to provide the SSA with the records it needs to best support the application for DAC
