Guest guest Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 when I applied for last year I provided his most current IEP that included the psychological testing most currently done by the school. I also made sure I had the names and addresses of his doctors from birth on. Just over this past year I pulled out all of 's old paperwork back from when he was just turning 3. was the subject of a dissertation done by a friend's daughter for her doctorate in psychology (defended it on Monday and passed!!) and the paper is likely going to be published. It was really eye opening to go back and read some of those old reports...... H. back up info What kinds of materials should families maintain, from early childhood hrough transition to be able to prove need for SSI when the individual pplies at the age of 18. A close friend is trying to get SSI for her 55 ear old brother, and that trail of paperwork is dried up. This all may be moother for the next generation, parents of younger kids, if they are told y school personal from early childhood, what kinds of records/materials to eep. hen families are originally linked with services perhaps that is when they hould be prepared. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Generally, Social Security does not want to see older medical information as this is how the applicant was then - could be " better " now. They want to see the most recent IEP. They want to see the WAIS test that was done between 17 and 22 (the developmental years - to prove developmental disability). They want to see current dr notes, current therapy notes......etc... ________________________________ From: Cindi Swanson <cbswanson@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 7:14 AM Subject: back up info  What kinds of materials should families maintain, from early childhood through transition to be able to prove need for SSI when the individual applies at the age of 18.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Someone told me that the child of a retired person would get SSDI and Medicare. I wasn't able to get a straight answer when I called the Soc. Sec office...does anyone know for sure about this?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 If: SSI has your child's onset date as BEFORE age 22 AND Your child has a PARENT who has a FICA work record AND the PARENT is either: - retired and collecting Social Security or - disabled themselves and collecting Social Security or - deceased:  Your child can receive SSDI (on their parent's work record) and, then, in 24 months from their first SSI check, can be eligible for Medicare. ________________________________ From: Ellen Kelley <elendale@...> IPADDUnite Cc: Sherri Schneider <benefithelpss@...> Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 10:44 AM Subject: Re: back up info  Someone told me that the child of a retired person would get SSDI and Medicare.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi Sherri, I just found out that my daughter has medicare and SSDI. She had SSI and medicaid and apparently she was automatically put on the other two about two years after her father retired. Our BC/BS knew when a claim was filed on her behalf that she now has had medicaid since 8/01, the card was sent to the agency that provides housing for her and we were not informed. I'm glad she has the medicaid and SSDI, but wish we had known before taking her to a doctor who doesn't take medicare.
