[QUOTE="slsh, post: 621585, member: 8"] Daze, You asked: [I]Why wouldn't you want him to be on SSI? It sounds like he would be eligble if his condition is such that he can't support himself... [/I] No question Boo qualifies. But... My brief experience with SSI when thank you first got on it was supremely stupid. He was only on it because of the grant he got through IL that funded Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - we didn't qualify financially, but he was considered to be on his own at age 9 since he was in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). That first year, I had to fill out an expense report. So I did, honestly. 100% of his SSI check was turned over to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). The SSA worker told me I couldn't say that. I had to allocate X% for rent, X% for food, etc. Basically, I was instructed by an SSA worker to lie on the expense report. I got RTCs made representative payee real fast after that. So even if Boo got on SSI to assist paying for his medications, I'd still be dealing with idiots at Social Security who would be telling me that I cannot spend 100% of his SSI check on medications. I need to deal with that like I need another difficult child. ;) [/QUOTE]
