This is standard SSA policy - you account for the funds and any leftover, conserved funds are turned over to the 18 year old to do as she pleases. It is her money and she can make any decision she wants. Too bad you didn't use it for her support (which is what is intended for) and save your OWN money for her college. That you could still control. Too late now. Hopefully, she will be smart about it. But even if you and I think she is wrong, she gets to make adult decisions now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-20983415484099023132015-05-05T17:54:16.455-04:002015-05-05T17:54:16.455-04:00@8:33, file an appeal.

Yesterday I get a letter from SS telling me to give all that money back so they can give it to her. I don't care that she is going to be an adult in a month, what kind of person would write a check for a lot of money to an 18 year old kid, when we can take that money and pay for her college. I'm not saying she will not let us keep it, but I am sure it might take six months to get that money back, when we have taken good care of it our self's to make sure she does have it for college.
