Re: SSI for Autistic child

Send them copies of everything you have listing his diagnosis.

I applied for n's SSI I did it on line. You have to print out the Authorization to Release Information forms and send them in. When I mail them in I sen copies of all of ns records. I mailed the package "Return Receipt Requested" this way I had proof they received the packaged and the date they received it. The Social Security Adminstration did a phone interview with me and n's SSI was approved in less than six weeks.

Hello,

I tried to go through the process, however, we were denied based on income not the diagnosis. So it may be worth a shot to try,especially if you live in a one parent household or where one person works. My husband and I both work fulltime so we were counted out!!

We

were approved for two kids. Our 3 yr old son is autistic and non-verbal.

He doesn't get much but it's better than nothing. He also gets Medicaid

because of the SSI. Since he is just 3 yr old and has the Medicaid, he

can also get on WIC. We have 5 kids so every single penny counts. Lol.

My 13 yr old was also approved. He has Asperger's, adhd, and anxiety.

Now younger one was approved after a couple of months. The older one took

a couple months longer. The Medicaid really comes in handy with the 13 yr

old because he's on 5 different meds right now. Now this month we don't

get anything because of a 3 paycheck month. That will put us over on

income. But its starts back up next month.

In Kansas, you income is based with parents only until after one month that they turn l8 years old. The process once applying for it took three months to receive first check just to let you know. It is painstaking but worth it for an income for our son. He is l9 years old now. Hope this helps.

[Guest guest]



He never received SSI under age of l8 because it is due to parents income, but once they turn l8, in the state of Kansas anyway you can apply for him, as his guardian, for SSI, and I would imagine it would be more than what you could receive if he was under l8 and getting ssi, but like I said I never could file that. He did receive Medicaid insurance as asecondary insurance under age l8, though. those are differant services.

I have SSI for both my children. I applied at S.S.A. or online at

ssa.gov. If you have enough medical records like I did my child started

getting SSI the next month and then full benfits there after. But here

is the key to where I got mine so easy. 1. My daughter is 24-7 total

care. She is 5 yrs old. Can't talk still in diapers and can't feed

herself. The key to SSI or disabiled is they can't function. As mine

can't she has been in therpy since she was 3 and it has gotten to the

point that the speech and ocpucational has said to me she will never

function in a real world. But if you have all the medical records on

hand it should not be to hard. If they deny you go back and do it

again. Keep appeling there denies and they will see the truth. But you

can get started online at ssa.gov. Good Luck to you.

that makes total sense- I was thinking high functioning / aspergers - I am told by SSI attorneys if your child is in a mainstream class, they almost always deny unless repeatedly hospitalized or have a concurrent physical disability. I am looing for help to make sure I document everythign as accurately as possible to help our chances, but soetimes I fear I am not wording things in the best manner - I took photos of all the things in my house destroyed hoping to have in case we have to appeal but there is no place to include int he initial application, or that I found anyways.

thanks for your candid reply - that really makes very much sense to me.>He never received SSI under age of l8 because it is due to parents income, but once they turn l8, in the state of Kansas anyway you can apply for him, as his guardian, for SSI, and I would imagine it would be more than what you could receive if he was under l8 and getting ssi, but like I said I never could file that.

I would recommend going into the office and talking to them and they

will assign you a counselor to meet with you over time. They are very

helpful and friendly there and the counselor will give you the right

paperwork and take it from you and tell you what to do next..

Like I was very surprised when a nice man from SS called me to tell me

my son and I would get benefits after my ex husband had died. Mine was

called, " Divorced Widowed Spouse With Dependant Child in Care " and it

would come from all my ex husband's years of hard work and paying taxes.

He had to be on disability for two years before we would get it and he

was barely so when he died I began to get his amount and it was pretty

high and they stopped my son's SSI and started giving him this which was

much higher than his SSI.

He began to get it when he was quite young, about $200 Supplemental

Security Income. They don't expect it to be a person's total income. He

lived at home with us and my husband worked full time and earned a good

income. They didn't ask about the income of the parents, were only

interested in the child's disability, like he had to get it before a

certain age and his was age 2. It increased a little bit in cost of

living allowances each year to about $250 and I began to use it to pay

one of my other sons to take care of his brother while I attended

college and got two degrees, my bachelors and my masters.

Later on after my divorce it was all I had to live on while my disabled

son still lived with me, my other three children had left home already,

so I rented out rooms to college students to make the house payment. But

it wasn't enough so I went to our local county Developmental Disability

Services and told them my situation, that it didn't look like I was

going to be able to take care of my disabled son at home anymore unless

I got help so they assessed his care needs and paid me a flat fee for

awhile, called " Relative Home " about $1,200 a month.

But then they got a new program because some disabled people sued the

state of Oregon, so now I get over $3,000 a month to take care of my

son at home....in addition to both our Social Security checks. It is

based on his care needs, such as he has a food tube, etc., so they go by

what it would cost them to put him in another living situation..and it

would not be cheap for the state, probably twice as much at least, and

he would not get as good of care as I give to him.

One reason they only pay me for 256 hours a month. I have to fax a time

sheet each month. If others cared for him it would be 24/7 hours around

720 hours a month to pay a nursing home. Sooo on this program Marty is

my " employer " and I am his " employee. " Actually I am BOTH and it drives

me a little nuts at times making out the paper work as I am his full

legal guardian and make all his decisions for him, even life and death

ones, yet he is my employer. Sometimes the government can be a little

nuts but it is worth it...

I would agree with the person who said to get started, then appeal,

appeal, and appeal some more. Appeal till something happens. This is our

right as Americans. This is why immigrants legal and illegal are

flocking to America, to get the benefits of living here!

Just some things to motivate you all to press on. But my son is 46 years

old and this didn't happen overnight, nothing happens overnight but

requires perseverance.

Keep trying!

just went to the social security website and did the thing online and then

called them to set up the appt.  I did the interview over the phone since I

have the then 2 yr old and 4 yr old.  It did take longer for my older son's to

go through. But just by a couple of months.  I applied for Coty in March and he

was approved by June I believe.

SSI for Autistic child

Hi, was wondering

if anyone has applied for and been approved for SSI for their Autistic child

was it a long process,did they accept diagnosis from a specialist such as pedi

neurology or did you have to go thru their process?

KIm,Yes, it will effect your tax returns and this is why - everything you make or receive is considered a resource. When you get your tax return you must SPEND it ALL within 30 days and then show proof where you spent it =- and it can't be vacation or anything like that. For years we received SSI for my daughter and I fully disclosed all of our information- I am now in the hole with SSI for $10,000 because my husbands life insurance policy had a cash surrender value of 1500. They considered that a resource EVERY MONTH (Even though if I cashed it in I could only SPEND it one time) and they went back 4 years and totalled what they paid out. Anyway, there are a few other things, like I get paid the last day of every month - and SSI uses your bank statement as of the first of every month, so if you have $$$ in your account, they hold that against you. It was quite the headache!

My daughters dx is aspergers, adhd and anxiety.Amy Spikings RE: SSI for Autistic child We were approved for two kids. Our 3 yr old son is autistic and non-verbal. He doesn't get much but it's better than nothing. He also gets Medicaid because of the SSI. Since he is just 3 yr old and has the Medicaid, he can also get on WIC. We have 5 kids so every single penny counts. Lol. My 13 yr old was also approved. He has Asperger's, adhd, and anxiety. Now younger one was approved after a couple of months. The older one took a couple months longer. The Medicaid really comes in handy with the 13 yr old because he's on 5 different meds right now. Now this month we don't get anything because of a 3 paycheck month. That will put us over on income. But its starts back up next month.

So it may be worth a shot to try,especially if you live in a one parent household or where one person works. My husband and I both work fulltime so we were counted out!!
