We have many ways to encourage young people who are receiving SSI payments or SSDI benefits and who want to go to work. Under SSI: When we figure your child’s monthly SSI payment, we do not count most of your child’s income. If your child is younger than age 22 and a student who regularly attends school, we exclude even more of his or her earnings each month. In 2005, disabled students younger than age 22 may exclude $1,410 of their monthly earnings, with an annual limit of $5,670, when counting their income for SSI purposes. These limits increase each year. With a Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS), a child who is age 15 or older can save some income and resources to pay for education and other things needed to be able to work. We do not count the saved income when we figure your child’s income for SSI purposes. We do not count the saved income and resources when we figure the amount of your child’s payment. Because of a medical condition(s), your child may need certain items and services in order to work, such as a wheelchair or a personal assistant. When figuring your child’s SSI payment, we will not count some or all of the amount paid for these items and services in your child’s earnings. Your child older than age 15 may get help with rehabilitation and training. Medicaid coverage will continue even if your child’s earnings are high enough to stop the monthly SSI payment, as long as the earnings are under a certain amount.
