What Would YOU Like to Know About SSI?


So many important and unfamiliar events happen when our kids with disabilities turn 18 years old! One of these that confuses many of us, present company included, is the application for SSI, Supplemental Security Insurance. It's uncharted territory for most of us.

    great topic. I guess I just need to know what are the first steps, and when do you begin the process? My son is 13, so it's a few years down the road for us. Is there paperwork or documentation I should start collecting now to make it easier then?

    What about when a parent is no longer employed / is on disability /is deceased? Does SSI change for the disabled child in any of those scenarios?

    Thank you Molly (and Rose Marie) for addressing this topic.

    When do you apply? Can you apply before the 18th birthday, in anticipation that it will take a while or must you wait until the person is already 18?
