Eligibility for Children's Disability Benefits

First, the "child" must be under 18 to be eligible. Second, the household income and resources must be very limited.  We can help you determine if your child qualifies. More importantly, we can guide you through the process to a successful outcome.

Children's Disability
To be considered a disabled child for SSI, the child must:
  • Have a physical and/or mental condition(s) expected to last at least 12 months or to end in death
  • Have a condition that can be medically proven and results in severe functional limitation such as Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), mental retardation, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, psychiatric disorders and many other severe conditions.

Functionality
The following functions are examined in determining the extent of the impairment's effect:
  • Acquiring and using information
  • Attending and completing tasks
  • Interacting and relating with others
  • Moving about and manipulating objects
  • Caring for oneself, and
  • Health and physical well-being.
