Social Security Disability Benefits are payable to your spouse:
Your spouse would receive these benefits until the child reaches age 16. At that time, the child's benefits continue, but your spouse's benefits stop unless he or she is old enough to receive retirement benefits (age 62 or older) or survivor benefits as a widow or widower (age 60).
If your spouse also worked under Social Security
If your spouse is eligible for retirement benefits on his or her own record, the Social Security Administration will always pay that amount first. But if the spouse benefit that is payable on your record is a higher amount, he or she will get a combination of benefits that equals that higher amount.
It does not matter if your spouse starts getting benefits before, after, or at the same time as you, the Social Security Administration will check both records to make sure that your spouse gets the higher amount whenever he or she becomes entitled to it.
If your spouse will also receive a pension based on work not covered by Social Security, such as government or foreign work, his or her Social Security benefit on your record may be affected.
