SSI and children

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

Someone recently suggested to me that I file for SSI for my son. I

started researching at according to the Soc. Sec Admin, a family of 2

adults and 2 minor children cannot earn more than $3,630.00 annually

for a disabled child to receive SSI. Does anyone know if that sounds

correct? I was just kind of blown away by that number. With the

poverty level being much higher, this number just doesn't make sense.

From what I was told it seems that once he turns 18 they no longer

consider family income.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks
