[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 722564, member: 1550"] I am my autistic sons payee and he is a good young man, never arguing with me over money. However Hub and i are going to start snowbirding so I wont be here all year to do it. We talked to social security and they have actual firms that become payees and we hired one. It is $40 a month, but that fee was waived. I have not heard of, at least in Wisconsin, volunteer payees and would be afraid of one. There are instances where our vulnerable loved ones have been robbed. I would use someplace where there is someone watching over and they get paid to do their jobs. Your son sounds very ill...schizophrenia? I would be much softer on one who is that seriously mentally ill than one who is simply a drug addict. What can a meal hurt? I would do little things like that for him, even if he is unsafe at home. You have a mother's heart and thats okay. [/QUOTE]
