[QUOTE="Fran, post: 565783, member: 3"] Congratulations. I agree with DDD, it is a relief and a burden. The difficult child's are held accountable (as they should be with taxpayers money) so the rules need to be followed. My difficult child can only use SSI money for housing, utilities and food. His account is very simple. My difficult child has never held a real job. If he moves back home, he loses about 1/3 of the monthly allowance unless he is paying 1/3 of the mortgage. The car he uses is my car, in my name. difficult child only pays for gas.(hence the comment about nice cars) I know he can have it in his name but I don't want to muddy the waters. My dream is that he can hold a real job and he can stop being part of the system. It is not an easy and is humbling. It is very confusing and there is no way to simplify it for the new recipient. Not knowing anyone who used ssi made it even more of a stressor. He never got a big pay out since he was approved quickly. I hope your difficult child can get things set up so that it isn't a problem. by the way, no one told us he could apply for food stamps. Can you believe that? I had no idea. Guess I should have read more of the reams of paper that come with the approval. If his g/f hadn't applied I wouldn't have even thought about it. Good luck. It is a relief to me that he is in the system in the event we aren't around. [/QUOTE]
