Supplemental Security Income (SSI) helps families of children with autism by providing financial support.
To qualify, a child must have a confirmed autism diagnosis, limited family income, and meet Social Security's medical rules.
Applications can be filed online or in person at the SSA office. Gather medical records, proof of income, and ID for a smooth process.
SSI payments ease financial pressure from autism-related expenses like therapy, caregiving, and transportation.
SSI checks vary. On average, families can receive up to $914 monthly, depending on income and location.
