  • Standard SOAR Process for Completing Child SSI Applications

    After completing the SOAR Online Course: Child Curriculum, case workers assisting child SSI applicants should complete the following steps as part of a standard SOAR workflow. In many states and communities, there is an established SOAR Process(i) for the submission and processing of SOAR-assisted SSI applications. In other areas, the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Disability Determination Services (DDS) may not yet know about the SOAR initiative. Either way, case workers can use the SOAR model to submit quality and complete child SSI applications efficiently and effectively.
