Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 would you still divide it by 2, if you have more people in the household? or should I ask " why are you dividing by 2 " ? <sirdavjohn@...> wrote: 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. The job of the medical insurance industry, like almost all insurance industries, is to charge you for insurance required, then settle your claim in 15 minutes or less. ~hic~ Dave ( ) SSI 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 seems small. We are open to suggestions we live in Jax. Fl.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS when he got ssi, so I would think that it is enough. Good luck!! ( ) SSI Okay I have been reading the posts about the income guidelines for SSI, but what I don't understand is if AS is a credible reason to get SSI then why are we having to jump through the hoops of different eval's where they go over the same stuff we have already done which they have the records of??? I called our contact at SSI and she said since we did this last eval, which was by a phys of their choice and all he did was ask some general self help questions and another IQ test, that their SLP had to look over the records and then their Phsyc. before they could make a decision. ARRRRGGGHHH I dont mean to be rude but no matter how many times you give her an IQ test she will still score high...yes she can tell you which picture does blah, blah, blah, but ask her what color the grass is when she is inside and cant see it she has no idea. There are more issues than an IQ.... Sorry to rant, Has anyone been through this??? - C.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 My understanding is if it affects their life significantly and if you are low income. My son was accepted the first time we applied, but we are low income and he was 12. Good luck!! ( ) SSI Well I'm kind of new here, I usually just read everybodys stories and comments.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I called the SSA office to make an appointment for my son and was a little surprised. She said we didn't qualify because we had over $3000 in CDs. We then got a letter saying we didn't qualify because we are over the $5000 limit. I know we're not destitute and there are people with no savings, but how do we save money for our son who may or may not need extra support when he's older? Our income is lowish and we're going to be slowly depleting our savings getting him into some activities that would benefit him. Urgh.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I am a single mom too and I get SSI. We did most of it over the phone, but I did have to go down for one appt and take all my bills and such with me. I started the paperwork in March and it was August before I saw any money. They back paid me though and that was nice. One thing that really irked me was this lady asked if I had grocery receipts from the past year. WHAT? Who keeps those? She looked at me like I was a nutcase for not keeping them. So we averaged it out and she told me I better keep all the grocery receipts from now on. REALLY...who keeps grocery receipts???? I thought that was just odd. NOW, I keep every dang receipt I get! LOL! Tracey Shockey MYspace Have you read 3:16 lately?Shaklee FREE membership/FREE shipping/FREE products!

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yes, we did this. Luckily, I guess, the examiner's office was on the second floor of an old building without a regular elevator and by the time my son got up there, he was a nervous puddle of jello. I have heard though that almost everyone gets denied the first time. We were an exception. Keep at it- they don't want to approve you, after all- it costs money. But it is worth it.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 every body that try's to get ssi/ssa has to go though this exam i went though the same thing and it took a law office and about 18 month to get my ssi/ssa. check out a law office for ssi they will let you know if you stand a chance at getting ssi, ssi say's there are about 40.000 people a day fileing for ssi so they turn people down all the time. you must fight and not give up look into a good law office for ssi they get 25% of your winnings from ssi and it is worth it to have ssi for life........... --- Patti Journey <pjpoo78363@...> wrote: > My son is 18, we applied for his SSI and instead of > him getting approved, I have to take him to a PHD > this Monday for I guess him to decide, he doesn't > even know my son.
