Show Disabled Eligible for S.S. People disabled since childhood may be eligible for supplementl security income (SSI) payments when they reach 18 regardless of their families' income. The eligibility of children under 18 can be affected by their parent's income and resources, but severely disabled people who remain unmarried are considered in dependent of their families starting at 18, or at 21 if they're in school. At this point they may be eligible for SSI payments if they have little or no income of their own. People can get information about applying for SSI payments by calling or writing any social security office. |
