I get S.Sec. for 17yr. old son. He wants to live with uncle in NJ, Will I loose his SS check?

Question

My husband recently passed away. I get a S.S. check for my son. I have no other income, presently and have been using the check for my mortgage. He wants to move to his Uncle's house in NJ. He is 17 and graduates next June. Will I loose his SS check if he goes? Can I get around this? Sandy in MI

Answer 1

you've used the words "check for my son" and "his check," if it is HIS check, why are YOU using it? the check has his name on it, meaning he's the one who is supposed to sign the check and cash the check, right? so does this mean that you have been forging his signature, and basically stealing money from him?

think about that for awhile. oh, and you might want to start checking the classifieds for a job...you are gonna need it.

Answer 2

Sorry about your loss, but seriously - get a job. Plus you will lose it when he turns 18 anyway. Whoever is the one raising your kid should get the money so it should go to his uncle.

Answer 3

You will if someone finds out, it would go to his uncle, anyway. why dont you work, stop using your son and wonder why he would to want to live with someone other then you?
Doesnt his uncle deserve something for his room and board.
How to avoid this: be a better mom

Answer 4

The check follows your son. Perhaps you can apply for disability on yourself?

Answer 5

sounds like he doesnt like living with you. its becuase of worthless pieces of **** like you that ss is running out, why dont you sell your ******* house and relocate if you cant afford it, or get a ******* job you worthless sap

Answer 6

when he turns 18 you are going to lose it any way

Answer 7

get a job.
