There are two disability programs from which Social Security pays claimants. Title II disability benefits are available to those people who have worked long enough and recently enough to be eligible for payments based on their income history. Title XVI (SSI) disability benefits are available to those people who have not worked long enough or recently enough to be eligible for Title II benefits and who have little or no other financial resources such as a working spouse, relative or other household members. Sometimes people are eligible for both Title II and Title XVI benefits.

Possibly. If you are found to be disabled, and your children are under age 18, when you became disabled might receive back pay benefits and/or monthly benefits.
