<p>Thanks for the question. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program makes payments to <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/apply-child.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">children with disabilities</a>. SSI is based on the needs of the person and is only paid to the eligible person. Your child may also be eligible to receive assistance from social services in your state. These services may include Medicaid, food stamps, transportation, or help with other problems. You can get information about services in your area from the state or local social services or welfare office. We hope this informstion helps. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[From baby to adult undiagnosed are many` the discrimination is plenty’ the tragedy’s are steady’ Dysautonomia for teens’ Pots for adults’ our whole country is 1/4 disable diagnosed 2/3 undiagnosed /homeless/struggling 3/4 good to go. The first step is baby- baby cannot talk. GENES can talk! Why wait for the human to scream? It’s all in code you know that - we know that - why are we being questioned like a puzzle without the pieces. Only a lawyer could fallow all these rules not a human. I would like to see the head of this department come to San Francisco and get free everything so you can pay rent food ect on 1200$ is not real~! LET ME SEE YOU DO IT!!!! Eat rotten food so you dont starve then try to think! Then have your money cut because you are not perfect and or a lawyer and are put to mental test often by gov. Once disabled always that way unless you have some alien machine to change the future~ tesla perfect dna machine? Time to get real system that is human. Folks that are worried about SS money and vote for war i can tell you I worked for Dept of Defense the biggest unsought war is right here in USA its the war on humanity and children that go to public schools discriminated all their life then one day they find the answer why…well kids now have taken to war of their own on AMERICA because of the inhuman rules ie school shootings . I suggest the SS office consider the millions of children and adults who have been disregarded and start disregarding the wars in Middle East

`instead

! OF AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now is the time …many i am teaching how to live that got nerve damage from covid or vaccines…I have had all my life undiagnosed on my knees crawling to Stanford to help denied undiagnosed ran away got morphine and then disability …sad is what my grandmother always said you have the worst life I thought I do? Swollen stomach sitting in leisure village with elderly because i was sick all my life..I just accepted and everyone said you’re so beautiful…sometimes eyes can be very wrong! I hope to educate many on how to see the tiny clues that even drs miss. Dysautonomia is gene situation progression varies end state can be Parkinson’s grandpa had real bad..autism is in the same family the doctors know this. We are starting to get machines that research but cannot we just hear the human? Visuals videos work the best …that is how i believe i got the SSI. Black outs sweats all the symptoms no diagnosis….now i have it after SS judge made me pass on the $30,000 …I’m owed about 500,000$ for being disabled my whole life and being treated like an animal in public school couldn’t talk speech training all day in tiny room ..I ran away from home finally when the anaphylaxis started I did not know why and was called anxiety -it was defiantly not! So many years and now I know all the pieces fit together …only piece missing is why GOV sat on the info at NIH and why they are not helping HUMANS LIVE!]]></description>

Great with you I have a 10-year-old who has not been able to have a child. I don’t even know where to start. I have three boys. I am a single mom and I do not get child support. I’m living in California is very expensive but for generations of my family have looked here, I guess I’m scared to move away, but my son would be happy just to see the beach and I live in California. I’m unable to get him to the beach. He has Sarah Posey and it’s not just walk to the beach as of today or over year to get his wheelchair so that he can have surgery day hopefully be able to walk. I can’t remember the name of the place they want the most qualified policy. I can’t remember the name of it but that doesn’t matter, but I love what you said. I don’t think that I think that private you know us all he uses is SSDI I don’t know how to give the other income for him , unable to work because I have to take care of him. I’m sorry I’m too crying as I see this if there’s an outside sector, someone who can donate and make his life better like a trip to the beach and donate money towards that. I don’t think it’s the government. I don’t think that we should have to report that I think that that should be , something he got to do TV goes for that day and the walk is not even in the wheelchair where he looks you know I try and turn it around. It’s one. It’s a walker for my grandpa was used to walk. He just lost his ability to walk about you Know ago it just said it’s hard to watch he doesn’t wanna go out. He’s tired of his PlayStation. He’s tired for him. I feel I don’t do enough. I’ve never looked into anything like this. I was just laying up this morning. It’s 4:30 in the morning I’m working Too I feel so alone or posted it really Home so I think you had to go outside. I feel that people don’t understand it’s hard. I’m getting like 60 pounds 70 pounds you know I don’t want anybody to see me either wants to go outside, he doesn’t wanna be seen different Start just all of a sudden you know we started noticing little things like he walked on his toes. I know this is a long message, but I waited so long to get this out anybody and I have three boys. I know I talk about my youngest the most because he’s disabled and severance, I feel like my middle hates me , what to do every Christmas I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to give them a Christmas I don’t know where the people find these places they give them all these gifts and the time that I’ve been able to find them they’re driving Mercedes and you know really nice cars and I don’t understand it if you were why not sell your Mercedes or trade it back in drivers a little bit cheaper so you can afford to give your kids presents and let the people that really need them get the presents. I go to the office and break my heart I’m struggling. I have a minivan And I need a new one. I need a new one. I need one reliable because I’m gonna have to go back-and-forth like every other day you know LA which you know I live distance from LA but it’s where I have to go. I don’t know where to get help with that Here giving billions and billions of countries. What about our little little guys that are suffering a little people that are suffering he loves childhood he never got to run around never got to go to his soccer game. Never got to go to the beach never got to Good Friend go to school , it’s just sad]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-ligatures: none;">Hi, Shea. Thanks for reading our blog. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a needs-based program that provides payments to children and adults with disabilities who have limited income and resources. To be eligible for SSI, your grandchild who is younger than 18 must have a condition that very seriously limits their activities. Also, the condition must be expected to last at least one year or result in death. For more information about SSI for children with autism, read our guest <a href="../recognizing-the-needs-of-people-on-the-autism-spectrum-and-their-families/" rel="nofollow ugc">blog</a>. To <span style="color: #2c3338;">find out if your grandchild might be able to </span>get <span style="color: #2c3338;">SSI, visit our <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/eligibility" rel="nofollow ugc"><span style="color: #3858e9;">Who Can Get SSI</span></a> page. To schedule an appointment to apply for SSI, you can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. We hope th</span>is helps. </span></p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures: none;">Hi, Kim. Thanks for reading our blog and for your comments. Social Security has two disability programs: <strong>Social Security Disability Insurance</strong> (SSDI) and </span><strong><span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: #2c3338;">Supplemental Security Income </span></strong><span style="color: #2c3338;">(SSI). SSDI benefits are based on a worker’s earnings. SSI is a needs-based program that makes payments to people with disabilities who have limited income and resources. </span>To learn more about our disability programs, read our <a href="../understanding-social-security-disability-benefits/" rel="nofollow ugc">blog</a>. <span style="color: #2c3338;">Our definition of <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/qualify.html#anchor3" rel="nofollow ugc">disability</a> is the same for both programs: your sister must have a disabling condition that prevents her from doing substantial work. If her earnings from work in 2024 average more than $1,550 a month, she generally cannot be considered to have a disability. Our work incentives may help her work and get benefits. You can read about work incentives in our <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-64-030.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc">Red Book</a>.

If you are unsure about your sister’s benefit status and you are her legal guardian, you can apply to become her Social Security representative payee. For more information about becoming a payee, visit our <a href="https://faq.ssa.gov/en-US/Topic/article/KA-02621" rel="nofollow ugc">Frequently Asked Questions</a>. To make an appointment , you can call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. If you’re wondering about your sister’s eligibility for health insurance, most </span><span style="color: #2c3338;">people who receive SSDI benefits are </span><span style="mso-ligatures: none;">automatically enrolled in Medicare after 24 months. People with SSI </span><span style="color: #2c3338;">can typically get Medicaid. For information about Medicaid and other services, contact her local social services or welfare office. </span></p>
