social security SSI / special needs trust

I am conservator and payee for a special needs person on SSI (my son) over 21. I also am trustee for his special needs trust. The trust allows for me to buy any and all kinds of investments including a house. I want to take $20,000 out of the tust to put down payment on a house that my son will live in as his own. He will make the mortgage, insurance, taxes, and utilities payments. Can I do this without affecting his SSI payments? The trust is for his benifit and he will be the only one living in the house. The deed for the house will list owner as ''my name trustee of riker special needs trust dated jan 31 2007 with me as backing the loan since my son has no credit. My son is the benifit of the trust. I know the trust will allow me to do this but will Social Security?

Social Security

My daughter has a live-in boyfriend and she has an 11 month old boy. She was married to someone else but the live-in boyfriend claims the child as his therefore the child receives a disability check from SS. The live-in boyfriend is a disabled paraplagic. They have had domestic problems and though the live-in boyfriend has claimed the child and signed papers stating that he was the father, he keeps threatening to stop the babies check if my daughter leaves him. Can he stop the baby's check if the guy has claimed for almost a year that he is his child and sighned documents stating this? Thank you so much, Lisa

social security benefit

After a major ankle surgery last year, I'm unable to work due to complications. I drew short term then long term disability. With LTD, my insurance company required that I file for Social Security Disabilty and contacted a recovery service to handle the process for me. I was awarded my benefits. My question is, can my insurance company deduct what was paid to me from my lump sum benefit award? When I called them for clarification, they(the recovery rep), stated that if I kept the money it would be as if I were double paid. Please advise me as I am holding on to it pending legal advise.

Can you ever file again,if you have been turned down by Admin. Law Judge? THANKS FOR ANY HELP ON THIS! LINDA

Widowers Benifits

My Dad is age 78 and lost my Mom last year. Both were collecting SSI when Mom passed. Dad recieves his SSI at about 700.00 a month certainly not enough to live on. They have no other retirement or savings . Is Dad allowed to collect on Moms SSI? I am not sure how much she was getting at the time of her death but I am sure it wasn't all that much. I understand that there are ''Widowers benifits'' and how would Dad apply for these monies? Why didn't SSI just continue the funds after Mom died? All Dad got was the death benefits check which barely paid for the clothes she was buried in. How sad after a lifetime of working and paying into the Social Securrity. Dad is now forced to live in a 5th wheeler and liquidate almost everything he owns just to make it month to month. Cant Moms SSI help him out? Also because he is forced to default on a bank loan because he has NO money can the bank attack his SSI which is automatically deposited into his bank account? Please answer as he is getting very desparate and I am in fear of him taking his own life. He is a very proud man who never owed anything to anyone and always provided for his family and now he is the next best thing to being homeless and broke.

who represents a man in a coma

My brother-in-law is in a coma from a severe head trauma. He has no living will or POA- he also lost his job about a month ago and has no medical insurance. He is dirt poor. My sister, his ex-wife, is being

badgered by the injured man's mother (who is out of state) to become his POA and apply for SSD, go for COBRA and coordinate everything. I think this is a major problem for her to do this. He has two kids that are 17 and 21, and are too young for this responsibility. Do you think this is a good idea? Also, isn't there a 5 month waiting period for SSD? Who is to pay the COBRA?

Thank you for any help.

Back payment to long term disability

I was recently approved for social secuity (medical). Since I was approved, my minor children will also receive social security payments. Once I receive the back payments from social security, my long term disability company wants repayment for the money they have paid out. Can they also collect the back money that will be paid to my children?
