An official with the Social Security (SS) office in San Antonio denied benefits to a home schooler after the mother filled out the required form. A call to the SS office confirmed that the mother had done all that was required, but the benefits were then denied because she needed to provide "evidence" that she was meeting state requirements for home schooling.

Tim Lambert wrote to the office and pointed out the guidelines from their own policies pertaining to students receiving social security benefits.
