[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 661830, member: 13499"] CeCe has been approved for SSI - yeah! First try, all good. She's still living with us while waiting/hoping for transitional living or vocational rehab placement so naturally her payment is reduced by a third. Happily/thankfully/luckily/gratefully it's not a financial issue, but we want to "charge" her appropriately and legally for her consumption so that she gets a reality check. As an illustrative aside: she had a part time job briefly this year. Made $70 or so. Original plan was to use the money to fund a trip to South Africa, and then, when that wasn't feasible, spent the $ on candy and toys. (Not an IQ issue, by the way) What do you/others do? Clearly (in my humble opinion) she shouldn't have $488 in spending money, although some is warranted (how much?). What can/should she be charged for? how much? We're writing up a boarding (not rental) agreement that required chores or a penalty payment to cover the cost of her room equated to market rate (not equal to fair share), which we are requiring her to sign. Looking for the ancillary items, such as laundry. TIA for advice, PJ [/QUOTE]
