[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 548210, member: 1514"] If they are adding he wont be able to handle his finances, who are they going to put on their as representative payee? I would fight to the death not to have it be GFGmom. While the payee is "supposed to" keep records of what they spend the money on, I have never been called in to prove a darned thing. They did send yearly statement and ask me what I did with Cory's money but I just had to list it. So much for housing and utilities, so much for clothing and food, so much for entertainment, any left in savings. Sign the form. No place to send in receipts. Never had to keep receipts. What I would want is to have an independent payee such as someone from Social Services. I believe APS does this. He can get them to handle his money. Now his back pay can go to someone like you and then you can set it up with APS. You could help him find a very low cost condo he could afford the payments on after a large down payment. Or even a small trailer that he could pay cash for. Then he could get car with the rest. Say he got $25K and found a trailer for 15K but only had to pay the lot rent each month. Then he could get a car for 7K. That would give him a little bit for fun and furnishings. He is gonna want to have some fun like going to the beach or going out to eat. He just is. He will want to buy a large screen TV for his place plus a computer. Some nicer furniture. I would look for trying to get him first a place to live and then a vehicle. He cant go wrong with having a place to stay. [/QUOTE]
