babygirl69 asked:
Both parents receive social security, my sister was diagnosed educatable mentally handicapp at the age of 7. She know gets $500.00 of my parents social security. She lives alone and has a child, can read and write etc. She went up to the ninth grade. What can my parents do so they do not lose benefits? She also receives SSI every month, food stamps and welfare. She says if she has to work she will give her daughter away and live on the streets. Any advice????? Also she has never been medically re-evaluated since the age of 17 to determine status. My parents are reaching 70 and not working anymore.

I don’t know the answer, but I’m certain there’s a better forum to ask your question than the IMMIGRATION FORUM!!!

You could report her for social security fraud. You night lose your niece but that’s up to you. You might never see your sister again. That’s up to you. How will your parents react to this? Can you and your parents live with it?

I don’t think you should worry about it. Social Security rules are very strict and your sister wouldn’t be getting it if she wasn’t eligible. It sounds as if you are angry at your sister or jealous.
Your sister is not part of your parents household any longer, she has her own place (correct?) If so Social Security needs to know this and that your sister is no longer a dependent of your parents. Their income has change since your sis is no longer living under the same roof as they are; thus the monthly income will increase.
