🔒 The eligibility checker on this site runs entirely in your browser. The answers you enter into the checker are never sent to our servers and are never stored or collected.
DoesMyChildQualifySSI.com is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
The SSI eligibility checker processes all calculations locally in your browser using JavaScript. The answers you provide — including information about your child's disability, your household income, and your assets — are used only to calculate your eligibility estimate. This information is not transmitted to our servers and is not stored anywhere. When you close the page or restart the checker, all entered data is cleared.
If you choose to submit your email address through the optional email capture form shown after your results, we collect that email address to send you the requested resource guide. We use a third-party email service provider to send this email. Your email address will be added to our mailing list, and you may receive occasional follow-up emails related to SSI and disability benefits for children. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site. This includes:
This information is collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools. It is used in aggregate to understand how our site is used and to improve the user experience. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your personal information with third parties except as described in this policy (email service providers, analytics providers, advertising networks) or as required by law.

This site is designed for use by parents and guardians of children with disabilities. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
While the eligibility checker involves entering information about a child (such as their disability and the household's income), this information is processed locally in your browser and is never transmitted to or stored by our servers.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
