Hello, Can you guys help me with something please? I have a set of twins who were born 1 pound each and both receive SSI. Both babies got the 30$ every month until discharg, they recieved the full 735$. Daughter 1 was in nicu for 3 months and recieved back pay/lump sum upon discharge. However, daughter 2 was in nicu/picu for a year and never recieved any lump sum at all. I was told and read everywhere that all babies do receive the full amount of they still qualify after discharge. Both babies do actually qualify. When I mentioned it to our ssi caseworker she kind of just blew it off.
Hi there,
Because SSI benefits are based on income, the SSA may have counted the children's eligibility differently because of the lump sum received for daughter 1.

Hi Rob,
You might be able to, but I would double check with the SSA just in case.

Hi Rob,
You shouldn't worry, because sometimes in states like Florida it can take a very long time to get a hearing from an ALJ. Best of Luck.
