Her three kids were supposed to get checks - they were taken off disability at some point, and the family lost $1000/mo. They absolutely allowed her to get pregnant and give birth so that her children's disability checks could add to their coffers.[/quote]

No.  Your kids don't just automatically qualify for SSI disability checks.

First, the woman with Down Syndrome started getting SSI, it appears.   Probably when she got pregnant with her first child.  But that first child wasn't disabled.

After that the grandma managed to get SSI as well, after she hurt her shoulder at a factory.  The article said that there were several claims and denials but eventually she was approved.

Then the twins were born, low birth weight and premature which is a temporary listing condition for SSI for children.   Mom of course was destitute, so they qualified financial for the program (it is income based).

Then mom had a fourth child, the little 4 year old.   Not disabled.

Disability gets reviewed every few years to see if the person is still disabled, and the boys no longer made that listing.  [/quote]
