[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 379176, member: 1514"] It is based on income for SSI which is Supplemental Security Income instead of SSDI which is Social Security Disability Insurance which is the disability you get if you worked long enough credit hours as an adult to pay in. Thats the FICA Tax you pay. Now you can go on the SS website and probably find their income guidelines to see if you meet them, however, it may not be a bad thing to apply ahead of time anyway. If he gets approved...and it is possible it may take a while to get the approval including having to get a lawyer to appeal, even if you are over income, if he is considered disabled but over income, when he becomes an adult, it will be easier for you to transition him to SSI as an adult. You have to do that anyways so you will be one step ahead. I will give you a glimpse of income...back in 95 through 2001 when I worked and Cory was on SSI, I made roughly $23K but I also had 2 other kids in the household. He was eligible for right around $80. It actually dropped down at one point when Billy aged out to around $20 but the best thing was the medicaid. I could have never made it without the medicaid for him. [/QUOTE]
