I have a question about SSDI specifically the auxiliary payment paid to the family members. When I married my current wife 15 years ago I had 2 sons she had 1 son , my 2 sons I had legal custody of them and my current wife had raised them with me . fast forward 10 years she becomes disabled, wins her case (after 5 years) and is awarded a lump sum check. as well a amount is paid to myself and the children . being that my 2 are step sons to her does that make them disqualified to get ssdi aux pay?

You do not write whether your wife adopted the sons. Please also note that there is a maximum on auxiliary payments to family members. You might want to contact a member of the National Organization of Social Security Claims Representatives to see how this applies to your situation.
