can parents work and collect SSI for the disabled children
If a child is under age 18, not married, and lives at home with parent(s) who do not receive SSI benefits, we may consider a portion of the parents' income and resources as if they were available to the child.n most States, a child who gets SSI benefits can get Medicaid to help pay medical bills. In some cases, a child may be eligible for Medicaid while in an institution, but not be eligible when living at home either because of the parents' income and resources or because of other income.
