SSI at 18 Mini-Guide
Age 18 is a big birthday for SSI. This plain-language mini-guide walks families and IEP teams through redetermination, how to apply, work rules, and a simple monthly pay report tracker. Adapted from the book The Transition Map by Jeremy D. Gooch.

SSI basics (2026 numbers) and how to apply
SSDI/DAC overview, student earned-income rule, and reporting pay

Who It's For
Parents, transition coordinators, case managers, and secondary special education teams supporting students ages 14–22.
Grades & Format
Middle School, High School, and Adult Education (including 18–21 programs). Single PDF, 13 pages, print-ready. Educational resource only—not benefits or legal advice. Verify with SSA and your local agencies.
How to Use It
Hand the tracker to the family at the IEP meeting before the 18th birthday, then walk through the redetermination section together so nobody is surprised by the letter from SSA. It works well as a take-home after a transition meeting or as a quick reference for case managers who field the same SSI questions every spring.
