4 years of payee rep fraud Aprox $20k

[AlexP908620]

My friends received ssi disability and his parent is the payee representative for 4-5 years.

- Since being the payee representative they never lived together (parent lives hours away) (red state)

- parent doesn’t provide any food/shelter

- parent has been giving only partial payment (payment method is the same always thru money services)

- parent tells him ssa has a rules so he need to keep the rest (I heard that conversation on the phone when

- parent never provided ssa benefit statement when asked

- friend is sort of homeless for long time as he stays with different friends.

- the address on ssa file is family address that is just used for getting mail (maybe the dad tell them she stays there but it’s not the truth)

My friend has hard time grasping money and basic mathematics so easy to trick him I guess.

I have been telling my friend for long time to make the call to ssa to report the misuse of the funds. Not sure if anything will happen.

Recently I logged into the ssa account and saw large payment being made to the parent which my friend didn’t see a single penny of it and also parent didn’t disclose that.

His check only went up but again was not disclosed to him by his parent

To make it short the parent has stole around $20,000 over the years from him based on my understanding.

My question is when we call will they remove him from account and send him the money from next month or still need doctor letter. If fraud is being committed than they would ssa still keep him as the payee representative?

Thank you for you time and any help you can give

I don't see what state the parent lives in makes a difference, crooks live in every state. I think a call to SSI will answer more questions than a forum.
