People with dyscalculia in Wyoming may qualify for federal disability benefits like SSI and SSDI, as well as Medicaid and work incentives. State-specific programs are limited, but federal options and local resources can help with financial and medical support.
To qualify for federal disability benefits in Wyoming, you must have a condition that prevents you from working for at least 12 months. For Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you need a work history and enough Social Security credits. For Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you must meet strict income and asset limits. Both programs require medical proof that your dyscalculia severely limits your ability to work or perform daily activities. The Social Security Administration (SSA) reviews all applications and makes the final decision.
