After a student turns 18 years of age they can apply for SSI (Supplemental Security Income). Prior to age 18, the student is still considered as a “dependent” of his/her parent(s) but one month after they turn 18, they are considered to be a “family of one” and the parents’ income will not be considered when determining the client’s eligibility for SSI. Please see the SSI handbook for more detailed information.
For detailed information and to apply for SSI, visit the SSA website.
