Legal Guardan

My state is Alabama

MY question is that if I get Legal custody of my 2 gradchildern, ages 6 and 3, can I get them on my disibility social security check ?
They live in my house now and both parents have left them to presue their addicitions and I have them willing to give me legal guardianship.
thank you

Guardianship is different than custody. Please clarify which they are willing to give you.

You had best discuss that with the SSA. Guardianship may not be sufficient to get them on your SSDI.

Agreed. Guardianship is revocable and temporary and is put in place by a court order and revoked upon submission to the court of a revocation. Custody is permanent and takes a court order to change it and even then it is ONLY upon a substantial change of circumstance in your life or the children's life. Both take a court order to make it so.
