There's a caveat to this you can actually recieve SSI and not be qualified for SSDI or Adult Disabled Child, basically if you become disabled before the age of 22 when your father or mother retire you can claim on their Social Security when it become available to them.

I actually qualify for SSI and get it when I am ill , it's a ridiculous system and I'm constantly at this point dealing with them on a monthly basis as I work part time and trying to go back to school.

However they deny that I am able to claim SSDI, on my fathers SS because of my (spotty at best) work history and the fact that I went to school and am in a training program with Illinois Rehab Services.

So yeah the whole systems kind of loving wonky.


The best advice I can give is get a lawyer and request information on a Disability advocate, they Government pays people and organization to be these and their really helpful for navigating the system.

You can't earn more than 1037 dollars on SSI, that's gross. Not Net. Then they deduct 80 Dollars from what you own then 1/2 that is taken from your check. The maximum amount of money you can ever make is 1037 gross and gives you like a 200 dollar check each month.

edit:

You can keep drawing on your parents SSDI , it's called Adult Disabled Children, basically you can get SSDI if your parents paid into SS and are dead or retired. Look into it.
