How Should a Representative Payee Spend a Child's SSI Benefits?

Hi my daughter was approved for ssi due to prematurity since then she got 30 a month for her expenses & once she got out of the hospital she got back payed for 3 months. Since our daughter came so early we didn't have anything for her and we didn't have a chance to have a baby shower either after that all we did was spent time with her in the nicu. We spent a good amount on our credit cards to pay for what she needed when she came home, food, & bills. Now that we got back paid we thought we could use some
Of the money to get back on track. Is that possible?

My toddler just received some back payment from SSI.
His father doesn't live with us because he was Court removed and I am not working, just got my Green Card. We don't have a vehicle in our household and I was wondering if it would be ok to purchase a used car for transportation.

I wrote a comment previously, but how do I know if anything even gets done or looked into? I know for a fact that my brother in law depends on his disabled daughter's check to come each month to pay the rent. How can he get away with this?

I have a question. Is it ok for a working parent to give for example, $300 to the child, and use the remaining $400 for house bills like electricity, water, and rent?

I am 23 years old and my father got put on disability when I was 17. He told me that I would be getting money monthly as well until I was 18. I ask him about it a month or so later and he basically said that he was going to take the money if it came in. A social security worker told me that I was eligible all those months for money and that they tried to contact me several times and never got an answer. So my dad was keeping this from me so I couldn't get the money all that time. Would I still be able to get a back payment from those months if I was never personally contacted about it? Or was my dad able to take that money and keep it to himself?

What if my dad is disabled and he wants to the SSI people to give me a check every month, but can i buy a car using the check for college and/or other activities?

My daughter will be getting back pay also can I spend some on getting means my kids our own place to live we are living with kids dad's sister and not working out and she has to move soon what can I do I don't have money for rent deposit and plus trying to move also can I use money to pay a baby sitter so I can move

I have just turned 18 and on the second day I went to the social security office with my mom and became my own payee and every since my disability has gotten started as a teenager my case manager have made horrible mistakes had to reimburse and etc and everything that is beneficial to my disability needs she says she can't realse the money for it and like you can use the money for education but yet my mom had to pay 1,000$ for tutoring which each visit was 20$ a hour and I attended tutoring for a year and it totaled up to a thousand dollars she want tell me things I can use my backpay funds on in the dedicated account and she said she can't release it all to me because I was a child when I received it and it's very restricted and she said that if I was a adult when I received it I would have been able to spend how ever I like so I need to know can she be removed from over seeing everything on my case and she even said that the social security representatives that people talk to on the hotline isn't apart of social security she contradicts herself and lies and if this can't be fixed I will be hiring a lawyer

My 12-year-old son is already being contacted by recruiters for high school football. Of course these are private schools and the tuition is extremely high. So if he doesn't get a full scholarship his entire monthly benefit will go towards school. I never thought to charge him gas money or meals because I always provided those things before I went on disability and I don't expect to start charging him now. I'm glad I worked the last 27 years so I will be receiving pretty much the same amount as when I was working. I guess working all those years paid off.

Back money shouldn't have no stipulation on it when it's a child unless the child is in competent but if the child isn't crazy and as long as you spend the money on the child and have receipts and the money is being used on here and her sister things she wants to do with here back pay a lots of pointments at the end of the day ask a ten year old what' she wants and tell here no money is suppose to be about making the child happy and fixing her
