And then we are supposed to "deem" whatever these illegal parents say is their income and resources, since they are illegal we can't really know for sure what they actually own, can we? I will be so happy to retire when they offer the next early out. This job is too stressful with these disabled child cases and the crazy workloads that somehow I am supposed to manage.<br /><br />And as 11:16/042712 said, it will just be another court case whatever they do. And Martinez Court case comes to mind. Court will overturn and then the poor, overworked claims reps will have to fix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-76848240602432975772012-04-27T14:44:54.992-04:002012-04-27T14:44:54.992-04:00I agree with 10:05 AM, April 27, 2012.

Much more often than not, it's just the parents looking to make a quick buck on a kid's cough. I would propose this: to get SSI under age 18, you must MEET an adult listing. No functional equivalence or any of that other stuff. No listing, no benefits. That should eliminate most of the frviolous claims while still paying the genuine cases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-88594595509231921162012-04-27T09:44:51.688-04:002012-04-27T09:44:51.688-04:00anon @ 9:24...spot on.anon @ 9:24...spot on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-59252921828819783352012-04-27T09:24:07.907-04:002012-04-27T09:24:07.907-04:00The real damage of children's SSI comes when t...The real damage of children's SSI comes when the age 18 re-determination is done. ADHD and asthma might be severe enough for payment as a child but rarely is enough to warrant adult disability. Too often kids who could move into the work force appear before an ALJ at age 19-21 having never even applied for a job because they've been told for years they are disabled and they discover DDS and the judge disagree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-39657689615792084642012-04-27T09:09:59.286-04:002012-04-27T09:09:59.286-04:00say buh-bye to child SSI.

If society wants to give these familes money, let's be upfront about it and call it welfare.<br /><br />Otherwise, limit SSI payments to funds that are directly paid for healthcare targeted directly at the alleged disability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
