HI,
I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I want to try and get SSI benefits for my 2 boys and am not sure how to go about it. Any information would be helpful.
Have a wonderful day,
Christina

Ashley's right. Before you apply make sure you have as much information/documentation as you can. After filling the paperwork out they'll schedule a psychologist/psychaitrist to assess your child(ren). This is what they did to me, before I had plenty of documentation. How old are your boys? If you need extra evaluations try Child Find or Infants and Toddlers

go to your local social security office and ask them for the paperwork. be prepared to have stuff from your doctor with the diagnosis on it, stuff from psychologists, and stuff from school like a IEP that says their disability.
