I did not need a state ID to apply for SSI and Medicaid. In fact the state

ID was the last thing I applied for Angel. We just got hers a couple of

weeks ago.

State ID Card and Questions

My daughter with autism turns 17 in April so I am now thinking off all the

things I will need to do when she turns 18. I know about legally becoming her

guardian. She is receiving services through the Children's Waiver formerly

72D program and just recently has been enrolled in Medicaid because of that.

When does the Children's Waiver turn into the Adult Waiver?

I didn't think of it until I was reading a post from Ellen about what is

required to apply for Medicaid and SSI, but she mentioned an state ID card.

How

do we do that? Do we have to wait until we become her guardian at 18 to be

able to have her get a state ID card? I imagine that they would need a copy

of her birth certificate.

There is so much to all of this...

Anyone, at any age can get a state ID card. If you go

online to the secretary of state website, you can

download the forms to complete ahead of time and see

which locations can give you one. Only full service

DMVs can do it I think. One thing you want to get is

the disability form. If you get this signed by a

doctor the card stays valid longer, I'm thinking 10

years, but I'm not sure and it will say disabled on

it. I think it's even a reduced rate, but it's been a

while.

When I called about the disablity form several years

ago, the woman told me that you should mention it when

you apply for things. It can get you discounts, she

could only think of fishing licenses off the top of

her head but she said to mention it. I don't think

we've ever used it for discounts but it has come in

handy to show people.

We needed his birth certificate and we needed some

form of ID. Again the secretary state website will

let you know what you need to bring. It's really a

great thing for our children to have.

I got both of my sons state IDs at age 14. It only required a birth certificate

a proof of residency (a Utility bill). I believe this ID is valid until age 21

at which time I need to get a new ID. As for the children's waiver becoming an

adult waiver. You need to reapply for the adult waiver any time after you

daughter turns 18 but before she turns 22. She can revert at anytime according

to PACT. My son was funded for the children's waiver in August. He turned 18 in

December and I just applied for the adult waiver last week. It is my

understanding that the two work pretty much the same until he leaves school at

which time it increases to 3x SSI to help pay for adult workshops which would

get paid out of those funds.

A state ID is obtained at the same location you would go to get a driver's

license. It is a photo ID that can be used at airports and for medicaid

application and throughout their lives. There is a specific form to fill out

and as I recall you need to pick up the form and take it home because it will

require a physician's signature, verifying that your child has a disability. I

am guessing that you can probably find it online through the Secretary of

State's website. I cannot remember if you need the birth certificate, but I

would think so...

Thanks for clarification, Pam.

As everyone makes their comments, I am recalling the two types of State

ID's...boy memory fades quick in just a few years!!!

Noah has the ID that states he has a disability but prior to turning 21, he had

the more generic state ID.

I just took my son to the Secretary of States office and picked up the form that

the doctor needed to fill out. I did have his birth certificate with me. He

was issued an id. It was easy compared to everything else.

The disability ID is fairly recent. Like a recent poster,

got his first state ID with his homeroom class at the high school.

The next ID, I took him to the Sec of State--at that point, there

was no special ID for those with disabilities. Last year (in

February, for his birthday), I again took him to get a new ID and

was then informed of the new , special ID and was given a form to be

filled out by a physician. Since he was ready, willing and excited

to be there, I was not going to make another trip for the new kinda

ID and we just got the regular one. He is nonverbal and, while he

is soooo cute, it's obvious he is impaired. We were able to go to

the head of the line and I don't remember if I had to pay for it--I

don't think I did. You can also download the physician form I

believe. Next time, we'll get the disability one.

H.

For one thing, the disability state ID is free. Another thing, is if you

don't have a medicare card, it's an ID that shows you have a disability, so you

may be able to qualify for something else.
