[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 300590, member: 1514"] Do you know how thank you gets his SSI money? Is it by check or deposited in some checking account? Does he still maintain an address at this SRO? I hope so. I am gonna be all over the place in this response so bear with me...lol. As you probably know, when Cory was gonna probably get kicked out of that awful trailer I was a mess. Like you, I was all over the place thinking I had to solve it. Should I just bring them home again? I knew that would be a disaster. He knew that would be a disaster. He didnt want to come home. I was fretting daily. Well he fixed it himself without a bit of help from me! Darn that able-bodied young man...lol. I lost sleep for nothing. Back to how thank you gets his money. One thing Cory and I have found VERY useful is that we have put his money on the SSI debit card. This way he cant lose the money and no one can take it from him unless he gives them the PIN. Cory had the bad habit of losing money out of his pockets so he would end up losing what he needed for the month. Now he just takes his card and pays his bills with it. Or if he needs to pay something that doesnt take a debit card like rent, he goes and gets a money order. Makes things so much better for him. And if god forbid, he does lose his wallet, the debit cards can be cancelled so his money is not stolen. That has happened one time already. Because I am his payee, I am alerted when his card balance is low, I can see what he spends his money on if I so desire and I can see when he gets the funds deposited. Now I really dont care to see all that so I dont go looking. But I could if I wanted to do it. [/QUOTE]
