[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 664341, member: 15832"] SSI is not a lot of money. The most you can get is a little over 700.00. Plus food stamps. I opened a Social Security Payee Account with myself as the payee which he does not have access to. You will probably get a lump sum which must be spent in a certain amount of time. As they give you payments from the day you applied, which can be six months or more. Hopefully he will be in some halfway house and you can pay the rent out of the proceeds. Figure out how much money he needs for food and cigarettes and give him a set amount each week (my kid has a separate savings account with a debit card). And of course, do not ever give him cash. If he needs clothes, etc., take him shopping. Right now my kid isn't getting too much money as he is working. It's only a few hundred dollars a month so it pays for his bus card and sundry other expenses. Very important to not give in to any demands for money! I think you already know this. [/QUOTE]
