ssi/ trusts question for my son's the process

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have a question. I wanted to know the process of going thru to ssi for my

son's. Whether anyone has gone thru it the steps for ssi? website with

information that clearly explains it. The social security government website

really doesn't explain the process. Whether they are eligible for it, when

to start? What is a trust fund for? Adam has mild asperger's/ apraxia/ adhd,

and Josh is high functioning autism pdd-nos. Any help is really appreciated.

I still have time but I wanted to know the process in NJ. Would a case

manager know this? Or a special education lawyer? Or the school where he is

going now?. Many thanks. Jeanne
