Social Security & Subsidy at the same time???

IF....you were asking about receiving SSI disability for your child AND subsidy for the child.....I'd say 'no'. You can't have both. HOWEVER......as I"m understanding this, the SSI isn't because you applied for it due to the CHILD'S special needs, it was held/granted because of the death of the biodad PRIOR to the child being in foster care (and adopted by you), correct? IF that's the case, I think the child CAN receive both...because they're coming due to different reasons...NOT THE SAME ones, KWIM? SSI is from the death of the biodad---PREVIOUS to the adoption/fostering; the subsidy is due to THE CHILD'S special needs through adoption/fostering, etc.....two different situations. Sincerely, Linny ETA: And NOW I just see that this is a VERY OLD THREAD!!!!!!!!!!! (sigh)
