Once your child starts receiving
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the law requires that your child's medical condition be reviewed from time to time to verify if they are still disabled. This will be a free review, which will be paid by the SSA.Like the SSD application
, this review is also carried out by authorized personnel every three years for children who are younger than eighteen and whose conditions are expected to improve.For babies who are getting SSI payments, the time period is minimized to one year, mainly due to their low birth weightor unless they're condition is not expected to improve by their first birthday.
What happens once Your Child Turns 18?
What happens when your child turns age 18? Is a question which is common with people receiving SSI benefits?For disability purposes in the SSI program, special medical and non-medical rules are followed to determine if your child can continue to get SSI disability payments after they hit the age of eighteen. For example, the income and resources of family members is not included while reviewing the Social Security appeal. Children who turn 18 and are receiving SSI benefits go through the same rules as other adults when deciding their eligibility for SSI.
