Spending SSI money

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

My son is 18 and we now charge him a flat rate rent fee as we were advised. His money id direct deposited and then there is an automatic transfer to our account for this fee. We pay for all of his everyday living expenses. He now has "extra" money left in his account each month. Can this be used for his vacation? Can he tithe?
We also know we have to keep track of the spending of this "extra" money but have been told mostly for large purchases. Do I have to really keep receipts for every little thing, say a shirt here and a movie pass there? that would drive anyone crazy to do that.
Thanks :)

Hi Joseph,

If you have any questions on how you should spend yours or someone else's disability benefits, always check in with the SSA first.
