They had good insurance through the military, so wouldn't have needed that. Parker's income would have disqualified her from getting SSI.
BTW, if your son is over 18, make sure you have guardianship papers (or at least medical power of attorney) drawn up for you by an attorney. Otherwise, if he has to be admitted, due to Hippa the hospital will not communicate with you regarding his care, meds, or even when he's to be released.
Actually not so regarding SSDI. I get SSDI and my husband makes, well, a good amount. I paid into the system for 33 years and was entitled to it. I also received SSI for my daughter while she was in high school. None of it had any bearing on my husband's income, which has always been FAR greater than mine.
ETA: Great point about the medical power of attorney.
