24-001.01G3 Child Receiving SSI

If a child age 17 or younger leaves a nursing facility or hospital where s/he was receiving an institutional personal needs amount SSI payment and goes home under a waiver, SSI must be notified of the waiver eligibility. Even though income and resources of the parent(s) may make the child ineligible for SSI, if the child is waiver-eligible, SSI continues the institutional personal needs amount payment without deeming income and resources of the parent(s). Note: If the parent(s) is receiving SSI, none of the parent(s)’s income shall be deemed.
