If you need to apply for SSI for someone under the age of 18
you need to know some of the rules. The
first step will be to complete an application for Supplemental Security Income
AND a child disability report. In this
report you will delineate the specific disabling condition of the child and how
it affects their ability to function.
Here are some helpful steps to begin your journey –
1. Look over the
Child Disability Starter Kit. You will
have basic questions answered and have a worksheet from which to work.
2. Contact your local
Social Security office. Find out if you
are within the income limits to start the process.
3. Fill out the
report online. You will be asked for a
medical release to allow Social Security to obtain records from the child’s doctor(s)
in order to assess the nature of the disability.
The legal issues relating to child’s disability claims are
complex. If your application is denied
you need to seek the counsel of someone who is intimately familiar with the
process. In the Seattle area that man is
Lyle M. Clark Jr. Lyle is a professional
SSI attorney located in Bellevue, WA.
