[QUOTE="seriously, post: 427550, member: 11920"] SSA fraud reporting hotline and info at this website. [url]http://www.ssa.gov/oig/hotline/index.htm[/url] It's my understanding that she does not legally have the right to "borrow" his SSI money. It is to be used for his housing, food, clothing and other necessary expenses. Unless she can prove that she was using the money he gave her for those purposes she has committed fraud. If she used them for her own benefit for something other than those things (assuming she will claim that it was for his housing etc) then she can be charged with fraud. And that's a big enough bill that I think SSA would go after her. Regardless of whether you're sure of the facts I would call the fraud hotline and talk to them about your concerns. At this point, given the base amount of SSI, they have taken about 9 or 10 months worth of his benefits back. Yes, IF he gets disability again they will let him pay it back out of his check. They usually let them pay 10% of their check which should be around $75 a month. So have difficult child divide $6000 by $75 to figure out how long he will be paying off this "mistake". About 7 years. If he doesn't get disability then they will send it to collections and you can just forget about him ever getting an apartment on his own. [/QUOTE]
