What should we do with Social Security money adding up?
My father helped his brother-in-law get onto Medi-Cal and into a nursing home. When applying for Medi-Cal they allowed my dad to split my uncles money because his name was on the checking account and to also keep his Social Security. My dad doesn’t use that money but when he has to reapply for Medi-Cal there will be too much money in my uncles account what should he do with that money? He wants to save it for my uncle just in case.
Your dad needs to step up and clarify what the situation is, at this point he is stealing from the taxpayers so he can financially benefit. (I don't think that they assumed anything, I would bet they were led to believe that they were married.)
I for one think that this kind of fraud carries some prison time, does he think that it is worth it?
