My son has a life threatening disease and was denied a few years ago for SSI based on my income being too high. I was told to re-apply when he turns 18 which will be in a few months. He has a summer job that pays well (too much for SSI) but once school starts, he will not have any income. If he applies and gets approved, what happens in the summer? Is it possible to not receive benefits for 2 months and then start again when he returns to school, without going through applying again?

I read on their SSA site that their is some income that doesnt count for students but don't know if making over the max allowed for 2 months would make him ineligible.

Thank you for any information you can provide.
