Re: daughter qualify for ssi ?
In order to qualify for SSI there are specific disability requirements, if she does not meet hese requirements she may not qualify... however, she may qualify for welfare and other public assistance benefits... Generally, if the parents are on SSI individually, it may be to the benefit of the child and the parent caring for the child to also attempt to place them on SSI - generally if there is any particular medical issue, it may be possible...
I would suggest you going to the website for the social security administration nd looking up the criteria for SSI...
much luck.
