If a spouse receives her husband's Social Security check, is she also responsible for paying his bills?

There is a family dispute about getting his SS check and who should pay for his care. Can the wife get the check and the daughter be respnsible for his bills?

No, the wife should be responsible. The responsibility depends on the two of them because they are married.

No, if he is supposed to be receiving Social Security he is obviously perfectly healthy and able to provide for himself.

OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO PAY HIS BILLS!
If you don't like, quit taking his check!!!
