records, day care providers, and family
members who can provide information
about how your child functions.
In many communities, special
arrangements have been made with
medical providers, social service
agencies, and schools to help us get
the evidence we need to process your
child’s claim. Your cooperation in getting
records and other information, however,
will help us nish our job more quickly.
Employment support
programs for young people
with disabilities
We have many ways to encourage
young people who are receiving SSI
payments or SSDI benets and want to
go to work.
Under SSI:
• When we gure your child’s monthly
SSI payment, we don’t count most
of your child’s income. If your child is
younger than age 22 and is a student
who regularly attends school, we
exclude even more of their earnings
each month. In 2024, students
younger than age 22 may exclude
$2,290 of their monthly earnings,
with an annual limit of $9,230, when
calculating their income for SSI.
These limits may increase each year.
• With a Plan to Achieve Self-Support
(PASS), a child who is age 15 or older
can save some income and resources
to pay for education and other things
