Question

Who Receives Benefits of SSDI Dependents

Asked 27 July 2015 · needs an answer

The question

I am considering a rental application from someone whose sole income is SSDI. This person claims to have full, court-ordered, legal custody of the children, and currently receives benifits for them as dependents. However, if this person takes the apartment (a 1 bedroom) the children will go live with the other parent. Does this mean that this person will no longer be eligible to receive the childrens' benefits? Without the children's income, this person cannot afford the apartment, and I am extremely wary.
