Seeking Social Security Disability as a Student in New York

If you are seeking Social Security disability benefits, and you are a student in New York, there are special rules that may apply. To fully understand your rights and what you are entitled to, it is best to speak with a Social Security disability attorney in Long Island.

Social Security Disability Benefits as a New York Student

If you had already qualified and received disability benefits as a child, they may not necessarily continue after you turn 18. You can expect a letter from Social Security Administration (SSA) about 3 months before your 18^th birthday explaining what you will need to do.

Your benefits may continue if you are disabled, a full-time student in a secondary school and are not married. This will continue until you are 19 years old. At that time, your benefits will only continue until 2 months following your 19^th birthday or the end of your school term, whichever comes first.

Going to school in New York may require additional expenses if you are disabled. There may be special medical equipment or assistance with daily tasks needed.

However, if you get married, drop out of school, reduce your full-time student status to part-time, change your school or experience other related changes, these must be reported to SSA.

Keep in mind that if you have a disability that begins before the age of 22, then you may continue to receive benefits after you have turned 18. Each case will be different and will depend on a variety of factors. This is why speaking to an attorney is the best way to understand to what you are entitled.
