Question regarding Social Security/disability to children after death. First and foremost, that is a horrid title. Sorry about that. Second, we live in South Carolina, if that affect anything.
I live with my mom and my brother. When my dad was alive, he injured his back and qualified for disability/SS. When he passed, checks still came into the mail with my mom's name and "for MYNAME/BROTHERS NAME".
I'm old enough to where no more checks come in, but my brother is still young enough. He's also a scumbag (this is an understatement) and is trying to use that check as leverage against my mother so he doesn't get kicked out, phone turned off, ect (it's seriously the only reason he is living in our house at all, at this point). Even with me working two jobs, that check is what's keeping us afloat right now.
If he was kicked out, the disability check would stop coming in, correct?
If my brother wanted to cancel the disability checks to come in, what all would he have to do to do this?
Either way, the checks will stop coming in on his birthday in a few months, and he will be kicked out on that day. We just really would like to know our options before hand. |
