[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 737874, member: 1550"] My autistic son has a payee. We didnt go to social security. I dont think thats a good move. We went ro aging snd disabilities and his neuropsychologist and his teachers also recommended it. Without a medical recommendation and a different agency besides SSI it is hatd to get. They dont care that your son is wreckless with his money. They care if he has the ability to do it right. You need to prove a disability My son went in front of a judge with me. It is very formal. The judge decides the payee He may pick you or a professional payee. My son is trying to prove he has the ability to do it himself but he striggles to understand how to budget. He is doing better. Right now we gave payee over to profrssionals. It is less stressful. To get money he has to call them and it doesnt help to act sad. But my son is trying to.follow the rules. You wont get a payee just because your child mismanages his money. You will get one if people, not just an SSI worker (we didnt even.involve SSI) deems your son cognitively unfit, due to disability or psychiatric problem, to manage his own money. Thats why a wife cant get payee rights over a gambling husband who knows he is spending his money wrong. This is not for discipline and is a process involving professional mental health testing. We started working with the school and a neuropsychologist before my son turned 18. He has a normal IQ and is a good young man but he was unable to comprehend budgeting. He is way better now. One day he may not have a payee. For now, yes. You may need a lawyer consult to see if your son qualifies for a payee. Then you may have to hire him if he thinks so. My son had a lawyer. But there was no fight. Everyone agreed. This is about if you CAN manage money, not if you just wont do it right so are homeless. If you feel strongly about it, forget SSI and go to Aging and Disabilities and a mental health professional and lawyer to build a case that Son.is unfit to manage his money SSI counselors are unable to make decosions about this. It is a legal procedure with a burden of proof. Lots of loght and love! [/QUOTE]
