Fact vs. Fiction: SSI, SSDI, and DAC
The SSI application is overwhelming. The list of documents and information required before you even submit is long.
And most families still get denied.
That’s not a reflection of how hard you worked or how prepared you thought you were.
It’s a reflection of a process most families have to figure out completely alone.
There are things you need to know before you apply – and things you need to know if the eligibility determination doesn’t go your way.
Most families don’t know:
o Which benefit applies to their child – SSI, SSDI, or Disabled Adult Child (DAC)
o What triggers a denial – and how to avoid it
o What happens when a back payment exceeds the $2,000 asset limit
o That a denial isn’t the end – and how to appeal
