Currently, individuals who are disabled and under the age of 22 are eligible to receive child's insurance benefits under the Social Security Act.

Overall, the Child's Insurance Benefits Eligibility Act is aimed at improving the social safety net for individuals with disabilities and ensuring that they have access to the support they need to thrive.
