Power of attorney is probably considered as work,however.

called ss and they said P.O.W for a parent has no bearing on my ssdi . but i have choosen due to the stress not to do it

I wouldn't think it would have been a problem, unless you are disabled for mental health reasons.

It is probably for the best that you declined though......you don't need any extra stress. Was someone else in the family able to step up to do it ?

I agree with you,too much stress. I couldn't do it either.I can only travel short distances. I have to question their response. There's physical labor involved in being power of attorney. How are you suppose to move someone's belongings or sell property? Thats work. There is physical labor involved. Unless you hire someone ,it would be best for an attorney to handle power of attorney doings.

oh there is so much fighting and etc, sorry to say i am even related to some of these people ,and my father was a vry very abusive man,i have no fond memories , but i wanted to do the right thing,and prayed hard on it ..its not worth the stress and agrivation he will project on me , so sometimes ya gotta learn it ok to cut yr losses. and move i hope God understands most the fmil has cut him loose along time ago, there is one needy, greedy grandaughter who getting money fromhim so she can do it i did warn the nursing home to get state involed ..

No it is not. There are different types of Power Of Attorney. The top 3 are:

1 - POA - medical ONLY
2 - POA - financial ONLY
3 - POA - total control

I was POA financial on one of my brothers who was of sound mind but not body. He had MS & could not "travel" on his own. All I did was go to the bank for him.

What if your brother paid you to go to the bank for him?

BB, if Ms M's brother paid her a nominal fee to go to the bank periodically, that is income but it is not substantial gainful employment.

Going to the bank on one of your good days is not the same as being able to work a regular schedule.
