How Social Security Disability for Children is Benefiting from Additional Congressional Funding



Children with disabilities face lots struggles in their daily lives. That’s why social security disability was invented, so people, including children, facing such challenges can receive financial and medical support.

The major concern for children applying for disability benefits is how long the process takes. In most cases, it could take anywhere from 30-90 days.
