[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 347984, member: 1514"] Ok...I will try to explain this in English because acronyms are hard to get straight when dealing with Social Security. Social Security has a variety of benefits that are available such as regular retirement, widowers benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance(Regular Disability), and then there is Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI is Social Security income for people or kids who have never worked enough time to get regular disability. It is basically a federal welfare program. About the mid-90's the federal government attached Medicaid to SSI so that all people who receive SSI also receive medicaid automatically. Your grandson would receive this SSI because he has obviously never worked and he doesnt have a parent on regular disability. There are special rules for people who are disabled prior to age 22 who have a parent on disability but since that doesnt apply to him I will spare you that. Because he receives SSI, he would not have any insurance taken out of his check but they do sometimes do what they call deem a parents income for the childs check so that could be lowering his check amount. What deeming means is that they count his moms income, take some calculations only known to them, pick a number on some form...and voila...there is his check amount. I have no idea what their method is. Never seen it. [/QUOTE]
