Hi.
I just don't know what to do. My mom gets SSI, she is disabled, an amputee, kidney transplant. We have another house and rent it to her for less than 1/2 what we pay on it. Reason for this is that I couldn't get the rental amount in the current market. She just started renting it a few months ago.
My grandmother is old and herhouse is un my uncle's name and they decided to put my moms name on there just in case something were to happen. She has nothing other than that to do with the house.
So social security has audited her three times in the past years and never said anything. She just had an appointment with them and they told her that they are going to cut her benefits in half because her name is on that house. They said it would be worse for her to take her name off becuase it then would look like she is trying to hide something.
She was receiving just a little over 500.00 a month. Now she will get about 260 a month. And with this she is suppose to pay rent, utilities and food. She has tried to get assistance for the utllities in the winter and food stamps but nothing.
I just don't know what to do. She was crying and I just feel so bad. She cant afford rent and I know she won't take money from me, not that I have any to give.
Does anyone out there have any advice? Is there anything we can do? Can you even appeal something like that? I am desperate for help right now.
