Just wanted to add, my husband and I both work full time to pay bills, we don't make much money at ALL and was surprised to be denied. I am deaf, get no Social Security. My 2-year-old daughter is deaf and gets no social security. My son has autism and gets no social security.
We have applied for Social Security and Medicaid and have been denied for both. I was considering applying again but I think it's a lost cause. It's a shame because my insurance company doesn't cover much in regards to therapy and nothing for hearing aids.

For your child, your family's income is used and the income limits are pretty low. If your child was denied due to the family income, it is probably not worth fighting. This is a simple equation and determination for SSA to make. If your income or family situation changes, refile immediately. Depending on the state, you could still probably get Medicaid. You need to contact your county human services for this. However, when the child reaches 18, you should refile immediately because the parents' income will not count at all.
For you, if you work and earn over $900 a month, you're probably not eligible for SSI or SSDI. If you are deaf, you would be medically approved but your work earnings represent "substantial gainful activity".

The best source for an answer is the Social Security office with the support of your physician who can qualify the child as disabled.
Do you have any idea how many people pull SSI or SSD every month? Many of them quite capable of working but too ambitionless to do so. (Years of experience with a handicapped community.)
And if you have a decent income, you might not qualify if the need is not there. Have you applied for and been accepted for Medicaid?

SSI is determined by income.
Social Security usually is not. But if they denied you. you can appeal. If you get a lawyer, he doesn't get paid unless you win the appeal. The money is retroactive to date of initial application, also medical bills, so save receipts.

Yes you can, if SSI is for the child you would qualify regardless of income.If you were denied file an appeal.But if you need SSI for yourself and your over income than you will not qualify.

You should be able to register the disability with Medicare if it is permanent and the child would actually be the participant which would cover medical.
