If a child receives SSI, how does the family's income affect his/her benefits?
Question:
If a child receives SSI, how does the family's income affect his/her benefits?
Answer:
-
"We consider your child’s income and resources when deciding if your child is eligible for SSI. We also consider the income and resources of family members living in the child’s household. These rules apply if your child lives at home. They also apply if he or she is away at school but returns home from time to time and is subject to your control.
If your child’s income and resources, or the income and resources of family members living in the child’s household, are more than the amount allowed, we will deny the child’s application for SSI payments."
