SSI will not. Check with Medicaid for any potential payments.

SSI does not pay anything toward burial costs. If the deceased person was insured for retirement or SSDI there is a flat 255 dollar lump sum payment to spouses or minor children.

The answer is it depends. If he is under the age of 18, then no. Once he turns 18 he can apply for disabled adult child benefits. If he is found disabled under those rules he can qualify for Medicare. However, what is considered disabling for a child may not be the same for an adult. It will depend on the severity of his condition; Social Security only disables adults that cannot perform substantial work.

can I get my SSI back if I am separated and taking care of 2 of my children
