Okay, now that I got your attention I have a money question . . .

My son is 8 years old and is disabled. He qualifies for state benefits, like SSI and IHSS, because he is disabled . . . but we don't qualifiy because my husband has a job and his income excludes us from benefits . . . .

I am not talking about low-income or welfere benefits, I am talking about disabled benefits since my son is disabled and we are mid-income so we get a big "zero"

I guess I just don't think it's fair . . . I can't get a job because he is my job . . he requires 24 hour supervision because my husband has a job that basicaly payes the rent.

I just don't undestand why our income excludes him from qualifng for state benefits for the disabled . . . my son requires 24 hour supervision so please help me understand . . . .

If I was legally seperated from my husband (on paper) my son would qualify . . . is that what people do . . . .
