Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 We just had our first phone appt. with SSI and here is the lowdown. They don't even want to start the process until is 18 and she is still considered 17 throughout the whole month of her birthday. She most definitely does NOT need an IQ test; if they decide she does at some point THEY will arrange and pay for it. (I just cancelled gleefully our appt. for an IQ test tomorrow....YAY). I have tons of medical papers and release forms to send in or drop off and we begin the real process on Jan 8, the day after her birthday with an hours long phone call/Or if we decide dh can go in and do it there at the office. Apparently they are going to take her medwaiver money into account, another thing I was misinformed about. Fortunately they are also going to take our rent, electric bill and food bills into account which are outrageous. And I now have a real person and her phone number who I can call and get the actual facts (as she sees them) from instead of waiting on that dang 800 number for hours. I'm happy!
