Q: Will your dependents also receive disability payments? A: Yes, your dependents might qualify for disability benefits too. If your child is less than 18 years of age and is not married, he can qualify. Your children will qualify for benefits until age 19, if they are still students. Your spouse may qualify if he is over age 61. At any age your husband or wife may be eligible if he or she is providing financial support to your children that are under the age of 17.
