Part 2 in a 3-part series on supplemental security income, providing a detailed description of the process for applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), tailored for parents of youth with disabilities.

The brief outlines four elements, including:

• the process of making an appointment with a Social Security Administration representative,
• the specific steps in applying for benefits,
• criteria that the Social Security Administration uses to determine an applicant's eligibility, and
• information about the evaluation conducted if the Social Security Administration cannot initially make a decision about your child's eligibility.
