I found your message board quite by accident, while seeking info pertaining to my child.My question.. I have a minor child with a diagnois: ADHD, manic-depressive disorder. His father and I, although divorced, are both professionals with an income above "low income." Would this financial bracket exclude our son from receiving SSI in the state of Georgia? His diagnois was made just over a year ago and needless to say the pschiatric bills and medications are mounting, although we do have private insurance for our son. Please adivise.

Reply by Paul High income of the parents can disqualify a child for SSI. You should file and see.

There are often other programs that will help. For example, Medicaid can be provided at a higher level of income for a disabled child than SSI can. Talk to the United Way and Social Services, for a start.

Take care and good luck.
