Yes, I am aware that some of the SSI money (the lady I spoke with at SSA said about $200 or so) could be given each month to my mom for rent. However, I have read over and over again that specifically when it comes to backpay, that people are not allowed to give a lump sum (even a small one) of money to any individual for any reason.
When you responded to my question, are you talking about giving money to her monthly, or in regards to my question about backpay?
I've read on several sites, including this forum, that people may be asked to show proof of where the money has gone, and it is not allowed to be given to other people.
