[nabs-l] Studying over seas

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Hi Brandon,
I know that for SSI you are not allowed to be out of the country for more 
than 30 calendar days. They told me this in my review, and also I found out 
because I went out of the country for about 7 months and had to reapply 
again when I got back to the U.S. I am not sure about vocational rehab 
though, although since it is for school they may keep your case open if you 
are getting services for school. Maybe you can ask your counselor what the 
policies are about studying abroad with your school.
