What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
When my son was young he received SSI due to to a disability until such time that I made over the wage limit.
He recently turned 18, and his disability is as severe as ever. It is psychiatrict, so physically he can live on his own but holding down a job outside of the home is difficult if not impossible. (Just in case this might seem like a lazy copout: His IQ is above genius level, and his skills with a computer are incredible....he is trying to go to school but has to do it online due to his disability, my financial situation has changed, so paying for it is hard and this will take a while, BUT he has a plan/goals and is working very hard towards being able to work and fully support himself)
Since he is 18 now, and is still unable to function on the same level of his peers (If I recall correctly that was the rule way way back when we first applied for SSI), is it possible that he would qualify for SSI again since he is no longer under my income? I understand that no one can give me a definitive answer, just requesting an opinion based on the experience in this forum. Having these benefits would allow him to hit his goals alot faster with alot better quality of life during the process.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.
