[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened in the transition planning meetings?

Would the library recommend her for a paying job, whether inside the library system or elsewhere? [/quote]

IDK about the library, but she refused to participate in the transition plan entirely. You just couldn’t get her to talk honestly about her future no matter what she did.[/quote]
Doesn't sound like you think she has a future. You want her to get quick free money.
She graduated from high school and volunteered. Yet you think she in not capable of anything.[/quote]

Sounds like you don't know how SSI works.  It's definitely not quick.  It's also not much.  Op, if your kid needs SSI, she has to have less than $2k in assets.  If she needs SSI, she probably needs a place to live--waitlist for a group home.[/quote]

OP here. There is no way she will agree to a group home. She will move in with her boyfriend if I kick her out.[/quote]

Op, I'm not suggesting that you kick her out at all.  I'm suggesting that you help her plan for the future.

I'm guessing that executive functioning isn't your dd's strong suit.  Does she know how to budget?  Start going through your household budget in a way that your dd can learn from you whether you use a ledger or financial software.  Applying for ssi or not is only one tiny part of the picture.
