[quote=Anonymous]Thinking ahead to after my death.

I have a 30 year old with a mental health condition that prevents him from working. However, he is not disabled enough to meet the social security definition. He has worked for only one year, and was fired from that job because of an incident caused by his condition. Almost needless to say, he has refused all mental health care.

I am not too concerned about him not receiving social security as I have saved enough to see him through his quite modest needs and wants for a lifetime, and his sister will take charge after I die. I currently pay for his medical insurance, but I would like for him to eventually qualify for Medicare. This requires 40 quarters of earned income.

Could I hire him, for example as a caretaker for my elderly father, paying social security as an employer with him paying his share from the wages I give him? Eventually I could pay him as a helper for myself. I am able to direct him and work around the times I know he cannot cope, but any regular employer would not be able to put up with it.

Any other ideas?[/quote]
