SSI and Social Security
Casey Family Programs have developed a guide to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Benefits for Children and Youth in Out-of-Home Care . This Guide is intended to provide basic information about the rights of children or youth in out-of-home care to receive benefits under these two programs. In addition, this Guide reviews the basic application requirements, eligibility rules, and appeal procedures for SSI and Social Security and offers practical tips for effective advocacy. The Guide also describes the unique roles and responsibilities of state and county child welfare departments regarding the management of SSI and Social Security benefits. Finally, special issues of interest to foster parents, adoptive parents, resource family relatives, and older youth in care are reviewed.
