[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a young adult access SSI if they are in college? It never occurred to me but something I read above got me wondering but maybe I misunderstood.[/quote] I would say yes, my DS had survivor adult child with disability benefits, no income/asset test but disability criteria were the same--he took a couple of classes although was never a fulltime student. Eligibility is re-evaluated periodically: no idea how they decide when, DS was re-evaluated at about 21 when he was self-employed although not yet making a living income, I was sure he would be bumped off but he wasn't, no subsequent re-evals and lost eligibility when he was 26 because by then he was making well over the limit for disability income. Also there is Ticket to Work (he was encouraged by voc rehab NOT to use ticket to work, I forget the reasons but basically it boiled down to potentially limiting one's options) . . . being a student is not necessarily equivalent to working (and if the person is getting accommodations that is a factor because disability means can't work without accommodations)--schedules are more flexible, etc etc [/quote]
