Full question: Is my Medicaid waiver difficulty of care payment included as income for my minor disabled child to receive SSI?

Hi there,

Parental income is deemed as income to a person under 18 who has a disability and this reduces the child’s SSI because the parents still have a legal obligation to support the child. For personalized support, you can work with an RSSA here.

Take care,
