My mother takes my SSI checks uses it to make the house payment it that right?

Answer 1

As long as you live in that house then yes. She is being responsible and keeping a roof over your head so you are not on the street. Thank her for not spending it on frivolous crap, and thinking of you and your family.

Answer 2

There are a few factors to consider here. First of all, how old are you? Are you still young (teens or twenties)? Is she a single mother?

If you are at an age where most people are out on their own, she might be doing that to help pay the added expenses of having an adult in the house. If you are young and she is a single mom, it might be the only thing helping you and your family stay in the house.

Think about this from all angles.

Answer 3

If you are under 18 and live at home I think that the money should be used for taking care of you. If your mother needs to pay a house payment then that is what it should be used for. If you are 18 and still live at home and dont want her to spend the money move out.

Answer 4

my mom got 2 ssi checks...one for me and one for my brother...when i turned 18 the check came in my name...i (voluntarily) bought all the groceries in the house and what ever else was needed...and paid some of the house bills (which in the end used up the whole check) in my point of view...that check should never be put in the childs name...it is the parents money not ours to go and "play" with it so kids can go buy video games so they can continue to be lazy until they graduate...the money needs to be spent on nescessities and if your mom needs to spend it on the house payment then that is where it needs to go...be glad you have a home...if your so into the money then you need to get a job and make your own and not take what your mother needs to support you until you move out...once you start working and paying bills you'll learn the value of a penny and understand why your mother needs that money so bad

Answer 5

Yes, it is absolutely acceptable as long as you live in the house. The SSI check is for your well being which means shelter, food, clothes..things that are basic needs..
I know, I got it from birth until I was 18..even after I moved out at 16, it was transferred to me in a court decree of my emancipation from my adopted parent..

Answer 6

The SSI check is not for you to go out and play with. It is to provide for your basic needs. Food, clothing, shelter. Sounds like she is doing the right thing to me.

Answer 7

If that's what it takes to put a roof over your head your mother is doing the right thing. The money is not for you to go out and have a good time with.

Answer 8

I read 'Social Security Administration Pub. No. 05-11000, Feb. 1993' which did not answer your question, but it did give a toll-free number you can call to ask questions.

For more information, visit or write any Social Security office. Or
phone our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213... SSA's toll-free telephone service is available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. any business day. The best times to call are early in the morning and early in the evening. And if you can, it's best to call later in the week and later in the month. When you call, please have your Social Security number handy.

Answer 9

You live in the house right? She uses it to provide a home for you. If you don't like it, move out.

Answer 10

That money belongs to your mother to help wtih payment for you. And that means the house you live in. It is not your money to spend on anything you want, it is to help to make ends meet, and prevent poverty. That is a selfish question.

Answer 11

Yes that is ok if you are living there too. If you dont live there then take the checks away from her. Call social security office and report her if you dont live in the house she is paying for.
