Well I don't think that's a big deal if they can't get back on once they have a full time job especially if they are really capable of working with no issues

I'm an unemployed single father. I have lost numerous jobs because of having to leave or call in.. should I apply? My son is 8

[@Roguesheepdog]

My daughter is Autistic, suffers from Epilepsy and ADHD. I waited until she is now 12. I have tried applying, and I still haven't heard anything back. I'm a single parent who works and goes to school full time. I need it it's very expensive to have a person who is medically trained and also skilled in homeschooling her as well as help socialize her in other programs, and then there are the medical bills. I had to quit my 15 year career in law enforcement after gaining full custody of her just so I can be here for her. I am now in medical school to learn more about how I can get her to her full potential as well as this will be my new career upon graduation. The system is too slow and sometimes offers help to the wrong people.

If you have a child who qualifies for SSI when they turn 18 they must go through recertification process as an ADULT and most will NOT qualify then anyway. So just know parent what they don’t tell you and what she’s not saying is 8 times out of ten your child will lose SSI at 18. If they can be a greeter at Walmart then they don’t qualify

We applied for our 5 year old autistic son a few years ago but was denied because we owned two cars. Old cars at that, one worth $8k and another worth $5k at the time🤷🏽‍♀️

OH I knew there had to be some reasons not to do this. I have an appt in a week for SSI on my daughter but the last thing i want is to ruin her future with this.

The way things are going u can’t count on what programs are around 20 yrs from now

[@danicapapali7810]

For many of these children, the question has literally never been ‘should you get’ but ‘could you even get it?’

I know this was 6 years ago so I don't know if you'll see this. I planned to get this and my son is 4 years but I didn't know it can have this effect as an adult. We are currently running from "dad" and living in a shelter and we do need it but I'll explore being his PCA and other things before doing this. Thank you for this video.
