[QUOTE="DDD, post: 565778, member: 35"] I am definitely not an expert on this subject so I'm not giving advice...except...beware that it is complex and also that they can change $ benefits in what appears to be a capricious manner. In writing the paper work shows that easy child/difficult child will receive two checks a month and the approximate date each month for monthly benefits. Really it was generous and a surprise. I think one is SSi and the other SSDi, I think. Two months later the SS office manager told me "he will be getting a letter soon showing a reduction of over two hundred a month so keep that in mind when trying to find a house. The biggest news to me was "he can own one house and one car" that will not be considered assets. The Mnager said "yeah we have eligible recipients who live in mansions and drive a BMW" BUT remember he can not have one cent over $2000.00 with-o notifying us right away. That is why we began our search for a house asap and hope to get a car, too. The backpay or bulksum money can be spent for that as well as other specific expenses. Much to his girlfriend's unhappy surprise he must notify SS if he gets married "or" presents himself as married (I guess like common law.."this is my wife"). If he shares his residence he has to notify them right away and both he and his roommate (surprise..his girlfriend who is dying to get married) have to go to the office and attest to how the expenses are being handled. The manager told me "tell him to say that everything is 50/50" which, fortunately, is fairly accurate. Hmmm...I've done it again. Gone on and on and on. My intention is to be helpful. I really am shocked about how complex it is. The best part...yeah!...is that medical help is available for the asking Phew/Whew! Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
