Available to Students Under 22"  Webinar

 Available at any Time


Online Webinar consisting of four sessions

2016 Edition

                                                                                                            

Written and Presented by Michael Walling, M.Ed.

 

The "Social Security Benefit Programs for Students Under 22" Webinar was developed from the workshops I have conducted over

the past four years for parents, teachers, and human service professionals. 

 

This webinar addresses the most common questions, concerns, and issues parents face as they struggle to understand Social Security

programs.  The webinar also provides the core information needed by education and human service professionals, involved in providing

transition services, to support students and their families.  This webinar is appropriate for individuals with a disability, parents, and caregivers.

    

 

The Webinar Consists of Four Individual Sessions:

.

Session #401      The Basics of the Social Security Programs. 

Session #402      The SSI Program - Part I - Children Under 18.

Session #403      The SSI Program - Part II - Young Adults Under 22                                     

Session #404      Title II Benefits Available to a Child and Young Adult (RSDI, CDB, and SSDI)

Session #401   The Basics of the Social Security Programs                                  $12.00

                               58 minutes   

Session #401 starts from the beginning and provides the foundation to understanding the benefit programs available to

students under 22.

It explains:

     1) what Social Security means by "disability" (there are two definitions of disability);

     2) what is the difference between the two benefit programs Social Security administers;

     3) how Social Security determines which benefit an applicant may receive;

     4) why some beneficiaries receive more than one benefit;

     5) why some beneficiaries convert to another benefit program;

     6) the relationship between Social Security programs and Medicare and/or Medicaid

 

Session #402   The SSI Program - Part I - Children Under 18                                $12.00

                                 59 minutes

Session #402 focuses on a child’s eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid and the child’s continuing

eligibility for SSI.  It unlocks the mystery of how parent(s) income is allocated to a child (known as “deeming of income”)

and when deeming does not apply.

 

The session explains:

   1) the eligibility requirements for a child;

   2) requirements to continue eligibility for SSI through 18 years of age;

   3) deeming of parent(s) income to the eligible child (the process);

   4) how the amount deemed is calculated;

   5) the application of the Student Earned Income Exclusion to any student under 22; and

   6) the “Age 18 Re-determination” to qualify for SSI as an adult.

 

Session #403   The SSI Program - Part II - Young Adults Under 22                    $12.00

                                   74 minutes     

Session #403 describes how a young adult may be eligible for SSI, what is takes to initially qualify and then continue to

remain eligible for the benefit.  It explains why some young adults receive less than  the full amount of federal SSI

(currently $733) because of “In-kind Support and Maintenance” (ISM) and how this can resolved.   This session answers

the question "How much can I earn and keep my Medicaid?"

 

It explains:

    1) How Social Security determines the SSI payment amount;

    2) In-Kind Support and Maintenance;

    3) qualifications for Section 1619(b) status to protect Medicaid eligibility when the SSI monthly payment stops;

    4) the threshold level of income to maintain eligibility for SSI and Medicaid; and

    5) the Expedited Re-instatement period.

 

You must understand this process to avoid overpayments if a SSI recipient is planning to work or is working.

 

Session #404     Title II Benefits Available to a Child and a Young Adult         $12.00

                                   (RSDI, CDB, and SSDI)   

                                    81 minutes 

Session #404 focuses on the benefits programs available to students based on a parent’s work record or their own work record.

 

The session explains:

   1) Retirement, Disability and Survivors Insurance benefits (RSDI) available to children based an insured parent’s work record;

   2) “Child In Care” benefits available to a parent;

   3) Childhood Disability Benefit available to a disabled young adult based on the insured parent’s work record.;

   4) Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) available to a young adult who works and has FICA deducted from their salary.
