Will my son’s SSI be affected if I am providing care under an AD Waiver?
Published: July 29, 2025Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out regarding your son’s SSI benefits and the impact of providing a level of care under an AD Waiver.
Generally, providing care under an AD Waiver should not directly affect your son’s SSI benefits. The SSI program is designed to provide assistance to individuals with limited income and resources, and the care you provide as part of an AD Waiver is typically not considered income that would affect SSI eligibility or benefit amounts.
However, it’s important to report any changes in your living arrangements or in-kind support to the Social Security Administration, as these can sometimes have an impact on SSI benefits.
Take care,
Martha
