I know someone(payee) who received backpay for their child's SSI and they used it as a down payment on a house. Is that legal? I know under SSA guidelines you are suppose to have housing supplied but this seems beyond the call of duty because this seems like a family matter.

But with installments and dedicated accounts, the parents shouldn't have gotten more than $1800 which is not much of a down payment. |

It was alot more than 1800. Aren't they suppose to supply SSA a report on where the money goes? Whats the worse thing that could happen? Could they make them pay the money back?

One of the parents is the representative payee for a disabled child/adult who is collecting SSI ?
Or is this a case with a disabled parent on SSDI with kids collecting childrens benefits ?

Then that would absolutely be illegal.
If it was backpay for the kids benefits, I would think/hope they would consider that differently. I would look at that as paying back the parents for expenses they had alreay outlayed for each child, but if this is about the child's SSI money....that money is for the child's living expenses, so unless they had a rental agreement and the kid 'owes' them, I think they could be in big trouble with SSI.
