[QUOTE="Lil, post: 653061, member: 17309"] Disclaimer: This is totally NOT my field of law. I'm making educated guesses ONLY here. I do NOT know how SSI payments thru a payee are monitored or even IF the social security administration does any oversight of those payments at all. If you are asking if the government would look sideways at your husband for paying rent to another relative out of the daughter's SSI? I don't really see why. Now, if HE or YOU were to buy the house and rent it to her...maybe? That gets a little iffy, with fiduciary duty and such being involved. I could see someone thinking you are buying a house on her money and in the end, she doesn't own it. Of course, that's pretty much the case with any landlord and there's really nothing [I]wrong[/I] with that. But I can see an auditor or someone for the SSA looking at it with raised eyebrows and thinking they need to look deeper. Is it legal to do it? I really don't know - though I don't see why it would not be. I think I'd do 3 things. 1) Call the Social Security Administration and talk to someone. Ask, hypothetically, if there is any rule against what you are thinking of. 2) Document, document, document! All the places she's lived, why she left them, what the rent was, etc. 3) Get it in writing! Make sure it's all legal and aboveboard - have a written lease, even if it's a month-to-month, and document that the rent is fair rental value or less. That my two cents and worth what you've paid for it. [/QUOTE]
