Parent-to-Child Deeming - 2011
When applying for or receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the eligibility and amount of payment for a child SSI recipient below the age of 18 is determined by considering the income and resources of parent(s) responsible for the child SSI recipient’s welfare.
This process is called “parent-to-child deeming” under SSI program regulations and policies. It is based on the concept that parent(s) who have a responsibility for child SSI recipient(s) share their income and resources with their child or children receiving SSI. It does not matter if money is actually provided to an SSI eligible child below the age of 18 for deeming to apply.
