The Social Security Administration has a website:
http://www.ssa.gov/
It provides info on all its services, and you can apply for many services online.
Here is the link to BEST - The Benefits Eligibility Screening Tool - should you decide to apply online:

You can also call your local office and schedule an appointment. They will mail you out a packet to complete. You may also be asked to bring some original documents with you, for instance your son's birth certificate, etc. (I have the care of my nephew, and just visited Social Security last week. By having an appointment, if you choose to go in person, you will save a lot of waiting in the lobby.) Make sure to have all your papers, dates, and other pertinent information organized, and....
Good luck with your situation!

You have to go to your social security office and show them why you think your son should be on ssi. if you have the proof, they will discuss your situation, and probably discuss your income as well. they always discuss your income to make sure you are not scamming them in any way. If your son has a lot of problems such as the following you could win your case:
has no way of caring for himself
has mental problems
is a slow learner
cannot go to school and has to be home schooled
it really just depends on his self being etc.

Call your social security office to get the process started. They usually already have part of the paperwork begun if you are applying due to the disability of the parent. Here is a link for you...

You can call your local SS office. Good luck however your son has to have quite a few things wrong with him. There are lots of forms and you will need to know everything about Dr appts, hospitals, etc.

It relies upon on your loved ones's family contributors income. i think he ought to get carry of as much as $674 a month. i do no longer think all autism spectrum problems immediately qualify somebody as disabled, so it concerns the place on the spectrum he's and how many "limits" he has.

I think you have to be 18 before they'll give it to him.
I have also heard that there will be no SSI in 2020 anway, so he wouldn't get that far on it anyway.

Even if he is disabled, I think you have to wait til he's 16
