Nature of Case: P.T., Mrs. M's homeschooled son, is entitled to receive certain benefits until he graduates from high school. The Social Security Administration (SSA), however, doesn't think so. Refusing to consider P.T. a "student," they decided to withhold his benefits. Even after Mrs. M submitted curriculum samples and materials regarding her homeschool, the SSA would still not consider P.T. a student.

Status: HSLDA filed a request for reconsideration with the SSA on June 10, 2005, and the SSA granted a reinstatement of benefits on October 12, 2005.
