I've read the thread regarding SSI & Student loans, and seems to me like I'm in a "rock & a Hard Place Situation." I need to get specific here so please bear with me I will try to keep this short.
Spouse is disabled and on SSI/Medicaid. Without SSI no medicaid. I'm in college online (spouse needs require my physical presence for help nearly every day so no campus school option) I have Stafford Un subsidized and subsidized loans and pell grant. School says I can still borrow additional funds from U.S. Loan, however, this would be to help out with the bills while I'm in school. (SSI will count any job income against her benefits and jeopordize her Medicaid) Can I borrow the additional funds without getting her benefits cut back even more? (They've already cut her benefits in half since this past year due to my one month job last year working for Census.)
