Re: SSI calculations

December 6, 2006

I don't know if they figure it out differently in different states,

but ours is figured out a little different. They take a certain

percentage of the parents income and then from that they will

subtract a set amount for each child that is not covered with

SSI..and then if you get child support for the child, they will take

1/3 of that, subract twenty dollars and add it to the income amount.

They then subract from $699 and figure out what your child is

entitled to. If you would like, you can email me and I will give you

the examples using our income. In fact, I just received some papers

this week that have all of that figured out. Good luck to you.

The general rule is

gross monthly earned income divided by 2, subtracted from $603.00. If

your household gross income is already $1206, then your allowable SSI

benefit is exhausted. They will not approve a child who really needs

help. That's not their job. That's the job of the medical insurance

industry, not state welfare.

> Well I'm kind of new here, I usually just read everybodys stories

and comments. Well any way my name is Fran and I have a 4 yr old

daughter that was just recently dx with AS and she has always been a

little slower in learning than other kids her age. Well we have been

through alot of diffrent Dr and programs since she was 1 yrs old and

we are just now finding out about her AS , well my questions is, we

applied for SSI in July and in October she was denied i replied for

her but i don't understand how can they turn a child down that really

needs the help. We just got her enrolled in a school for children

with AS, her doctor put her on a medication called Klondine to help

her rest because she never sleeps. I'm so exhausted and tired and not

sure of what to do she cries all the time I have 4 other children but

she is the only one that and I hate to say this different. She is a

beautiful child just misunderstood so if there is anything anyone can

tell us to help or even if it

you...

Please go to the links that I provided. SSI is the same in all states except the

ones listed. If I am correct, Rose, you are in New York, which is one of those

states, so you will need to do more research for specific changes.
